It got me thinking. About a month ago, I felt stuck in a rut. I didn't feel I was getting anywhere with my workouts. I then had a talk with my brother about my goals and why I was doing the competition. I felt I wasn't having fun anymore. I then asked him to motivate me...and he sent me a text that stated "You are physically able to finish at TOP of the Games...you just need to work hard to accomplish your goals"....I immediately printed this out and put it on my fridge.
I then started thinking about how it would feel to win. I also started believing I could do it again. Not 2 days later, I was back to pushing myself past the threshold and feeling great in my workouts. As of late, the past week to be precise, I've started to picture myself standing on the podium, and in that time I've PR'd in a couple of WOD's. I didn't notice that all this was having an effect on my training until my sister told me about it.
If you have goals, it is important to visualize yourself accomplishing those goals. In terms of a competition, if you don't go to win, you won't win.
