We've all dealt with injuries and setbacks in our training. How we adjust and move forward determines our success. We have the ability to change our attitude towards our day, our family, our training, our injury. The attitude we adopt is our choice.
My dad loves to tell me "Champions adjust". And he's right. What I like to forget is that the adjustment is 90% about your attitude towards the endeavor. So, next time he tells me that "champions adjust", I'm going to smile and add, "champions adjust their attitude". I know that my ability and motivation will skyrocket once I change my attitude towards my training.
These words propel us everyday, despite injuries, setbacks, or problems:
Ability is what you are capable of doing.
Motivation determines what you do.
Attitude determines how well you do it.
