For our memorial day we spent the day in downtown Greenville to witness the U.S. National Cycling Championships. This is a 4 hour race through the downtown streets and nearby mountains of the upstate of South Carolina. As I’m watching the race, sitting at a small restaurant with my family watching the bikes whiz by, I was thinking, “What does it take for someone to want to compete in this type of race?” This was an amazing display of athletecism. I believe these great athletes understand performance. Here’s a couple of things these champions have done to get to this level:
These athletes are different than other sports professionals. There is not a tremendous amount of revenue as there are in others sports. When there is little money, there must be passion! Passion drives performance. What are you passionate about?
I noticed these athletes have hardly any body fat! You don’t get to this point of health without a process. It takes a plan to achieve the health to compete at this level. Even though passion begins the dream, you won’t fulfill the dream without a plan. What are you planning?
