...getting better doesn't just happen when training for a race-game-contest...

...it happens 365 days per year...

...getting better is a well choreographed dance of diets, rest, peaks and tapers...

...getting better is a grind...it is not for the feint of heart...and it racks up an inordinate number of casualties along the way...

...would have, could have, should haves... all excuses for COULDN'T...


...every time I think of the pursuit of excellence...I think of Doug Brown...

...in the twilight of his career... and nary a week passes in the off-season before he is down at the box...planning his success...

...rest, vacations, peaks, tapers, diet and ultimately another successful year as the CFL's top (or at least runner up Canadian)...

...the strength that Doug possesses lies in the core knowledge that he cannot do this forever...and guess what...neither can you!


...for those of you out there in ELITE Nation who are presently "in between" projects...focus does not have to necessarily be on an event....just on the steady improvement...both physically and emotionally that accompany testing yourself...

...if you think you will one day...chances are if you don't decide to make that day today....you probably won't...

...don't mortgage today for tomorrow ...

...enjoy your journey, push yourself...continually push the evolution of your body and spirit...

...BE ELITE....
