Sink to the Level of Your Training!

The Navy SEALS live by the following quote when it comes to their elite preparation:

I regularly share this quote with the athletes I coach or work with 1-on-1 and the students that I teach. It is great reminder of the focus we need to put into our preparation. I also share with them that if you reflect on the truth in this quote it should do one of two things:

1. GIVE YOU CONFIDENCE because you know you have prepared at a high level on a regular basis.

2. GIVE YOU CONCERN because you know you haven’t prepared at the level that your competition will demand of you.

For our spring sports athletes who are a the early stages of their season, I hope this quote will become something you will reflect on regularly between now and May. If you live this quote out well, you will approach the CHAMPIONSHIP phase of your season and this quote will give you CONFIDENCE!
