It can be difficult to find the motivation to stay diligent in completing workouts and developing skills. The only person to push you is yourself. That is no easy task. You may have the desire but lack the follow through. If the intrinsic motivation isn’t there, training will feel like a chore rather than a privilege.
The idea of the extra mile in training may seem daunting. With the countless hours already being put into your sport, how can you possibly give more? The answers are easier to achieve than you may think.
Avoiding Shortcuts - Going the Extra Mile
American businessman Gary Ryan Blair once said,“What is the distance between someone who achieves their goals consistently and those who spend their lives merely following? The extra mile.”

For Today, Play Because You Can.
