Great quote from @Sports_Greats recently:
” Everyone falls down. Only the best get back up.”
Maybe you’ve had a crash and it has knocked your confidence?
Or you’ve picked up an injury, cold or virus?
Or maybe you trained as hard as you could yet still took a kicking at the local race or had to walk up “The Wall” in the Ashdown?
Well, it’s not how we deal with things when they’re going well, it’s how we deal with them when they’re going badly that defines us.
If you always felt 100% and no hurdles were ever put in your way you’re right this cycling game would be easy but cycling, like life, isn’t like that.
You have had important meetings or had to deliver a key presentation and, at the time, you were convinced that you weren’t going to be ready yet you nailed it. You have had to employ a private Tutor to get your son or daughter through their maths exam and they scraped through into that new school. You have had to borrow money because you couldn’t make ends meet yet you pulled through.
Well, whether you’re nursing some cuts and bruises, managing knee pain or it’s just your pride that’s dented after getting dropped on the first lap of your first race, remember you will get past this as long as one thing is true:
YOU HAVE TO WANT TO ENOUGH!
Now, go get it 🙂
