Looking at the cards that have been dealt to me so far, Im going to set up goals that I can try to accomplish. And that goes for outside the gym, too. I want to do many things from now to the end of the school year.
1) When swimming, keep the legs moving/kicking at all costs. I saw today, accomplishing my first week of preseason, that just trying to kick no matter how tired you are, or how much you want to stop, truly helps. I grabbed that kickboard and did 150meters. That was a distance worth patting myself on the back for.
2) When eating, think of how closer I will be to going to a new (good) reformation of my body, with certain types of foods in my mouth.
3) Stay focused; I am in school to learn and try sports. Highschool friends usually mean nothing later on in life (thats what I have heard by many people.) Keep the joking comments to the minimum and try to excell in school. And I didnt say JUST excell. Trying is everything.
4) Learning from mistakes. In general this is a good goal for ANYONE to strive for, whether you are a teacher, a student, a trainer, a CEO, etc. Learn from your mistakes. You cant go wrong, and I’m trying to do this for my personal issues, beyond fitness and swimming. Something more close to emotional than physical.
Anyways, have a good night. Im goin to be busy over the past two weeks from finals and papers, so if I have anything intelligent to say, then it will be said.
