Mind Gym day 2: I get knocked down...

In my glorious "Athlete Bible" I highlighted a quote last night, and it was very relevant for me today, "If you don't fail, you're probably not challenging yourself enough." I can honestly say I lost count of how many times I fell on and off that track today. I need to slow my poor mind down. I did two of my three goals decently, and only accomplished my third if I slowed my movements to turtle pace (so still an accomplishment, I will not be getting down on myself, I'm overall happy with how practice went today). so my three goals from yesterday remain still true, however I will be more specific (I'm only rewriting the one I really need to work on)

1. I will properly execute a turn around toe stop on the infield coming off the track. I will be able to think through the steps individually to properly execute it.
2. Falling is NOT failure, frustration WILL happen, and I WILL leave it ALL on the track.
3. I can do all things asked of me on that track
4. I am a phenomenal skater (in the makings) and I will be an asset on any team
5. I will embrace fear with a death grip, and I will make it my friend.

Muhhamed Ali stated once that, "To be a great Champion you must believe you are the best. If you're not, pretend you are." I need to believe in myself and my abilities

On tomorrow's agenda I will run approx 1.6 miles, followed by whatever push ups and sit ups my trainer apps tell me to do. I will be ready physically and mentally for the skills test, and all other tests in the future. Today was a stepping stone, part of the foundation to the great building I am trying to create. I will get to where I want to be. It will just take time to get there. Consider this my work in progress disclaimer.

Good night world,
