Work

Work is a four-letter word. Some people avoid it and other are consumed by it. Anyone can work, but can you translate work into results (performance)? You can if you start with a clear vision of the end result you want to achieve and then delineate the steps necessary to achieve that result. Recognize then that it is a process that systematically masters those steps. It is a process that takes time because training is cumulative. Always keep the work in context, the context of your current stage of development and stage of fitness reconciled with where you want to be. Make sure the work has a purpose. Anyone can make someone tired, but is it advancing your athletes to their goal? Consistent quality work is rewarded over spectacular inconsistent work. Spectacular get attention, consistent gets results.
