...YOUR goals...


..It is funny when you put them on paper...they seem lifeless and two dimensional.
...now think about them and everything they represent and embody...and they become a part of you....ALIVE...!

...but, a goal only becomes YOURS when you believe in it....
...when your focus and your actions permeate your every action and decision...

...In the quick fix society we live in, it is not easy to "keep your eyes on the prize", it is much easier to talk about it than make it happen...but talking about as if you have done it or can do it, can create a false sense of accomplishment that will only crash down around you when you find out that it took more than you thought it did...

...here are some tips to make sure YOUR goals become your accomplishments...

1- No detail is too small to make note of...know your opponent, your race, your body...and use this information to your advantage.
2- Rest and recuperate...keep "the saw" sharp...
3- Water, water everywhere...75% of the athletes we urine test are dehydrated...AND THEY DRINK OVER 4 LITERS PER DAY! Water helps transport good things through the active body and the BAD THINGS out of it!!!
4- Don't talk about it...do it...In today's day and age, talk is SO cheap.  Actions speak louder than words...your sense of accomplishment will be much higher as well....and that can motivate us to climb higher up the mountain.
5- Understand that living "in the herd" will not help you achieve your goals...step outside of the herd and be prepared to be misunderstood and maybe even peer-pressured to step back into the herd...identify this as a potential hurdle and know it is the price you will have to pay for an ELITE PERFORMANCE!
6- PRACTICE GREATNESS...we are only hear for a short time. Try to live every moment and truly give your all to friends, family and others in your life...but most of all TO YOURSELF...if you don't take care of yourself...you CAN'T take care of others!

Start now! Turn those goals into accomplishments!

ELITE NATION...Strength Within...PRIDE THROUGHOUT!
your pal,
fISH

    How true that is. There is nothing worse than hearing about someone's plans and them not doing what it takes to get there and blaming someone else along the way. Put up or shut up! Talking about it has no place in ELITE NATION! fISH, thanks for years of making outrageous promises and following through on ALL of them for me. You are THE BEST!

    If there is anything that I have learned from Elite it is be strong. Use Elite and fISH as a tool, not as a crutch, it is about your effort and following the program to the 't', it works everytime "if" you follow it 100%.
    To quote fISH. Don't think, just do (or to some of his old friends,don't f-it up with thinking too much) thanks elite for the years I lived in the 'peg. Elite truly runs in my veins. Thank you.
