...it is the easiest EQUATION in the world...and can be the most difficult to complete...
...whether you are a wheel-chair athlete, a marathoner, bodybuilder, football player or just into pushing yourself to your limits...the EQUATION applies to you!!!

Let's review...

U= is you...what you chose to do- your discipline, your drive, your focus....
E= the environment you immerse yourself into...your training, your diet, your sleep...
S= success...YOURS

I often find it funny when people come up and mention that they are not where they want to be...not only athletically but also in life...

the choice is yours...YOU HAVE FULL CONTROL OVER THE EQUATION...sure there may be unforeseens arise in your environment, but the more work you put into understanding your environment the less unforeseens that there will be...

Last night, I had the opportunity to speak to a group of Provincial and National Wheelchair Athletes at the University of Winnipeg... so let's use their example...

U= a wheelchair athlete+ who you are and what your priorities in life are + how you want to spend your 168 in your week
E= training+ diet+ practicing+ working with some unique challenges (we all have them- just different ones)
S= I KNOW YOU WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL- you told me that you wanted to...so let's OWN IT!!!

STEP 1- find out who you are...list the priorities in your life (family, sport, volunteering...whatever it may be)...
             - decide where you want to spend YOUR 168 (24 x 7)...
             - be realistic about understanding your level of discipline and commitment....this can develop too, and will with time...

STEP 2- identify the environment that you need to control to succeed- training, sleep, diet...and make sure it happens...

STEP 3- you are done...you just determined your level of SUCCESS....your actions and who you are determine how this equation balances out...NO ONE ELSE!...it doesn't mean you have to complete it without help from others...but the SUM of this equation belongs to YOU...


....we have used this equation with 1000's of people and athletes to date...the more you develop a relationship with this tool ...the more the equation can be used and stretched (micro or macro)...think about it...and CREATE YOUR SUCCESS!!!

Until next time ELITE NATION....
onward and upward,
