Sneaky,

You can get better, brah.  First, you gotta expect to improve.  Act like it's a done deal.  Plan for your improvement and train for it like you know you'll do it.  Don't worry about other folk and whether or not they improved their times from one year to the next.  They are not you.  So don't go around with negative thoughts about what you hope won't happen or else the thing you dread may come to pass.  Don't even entertain "what if's" or "I'm afraid…"  No, brah, instead think "I'm gonna grow, get stronger, practice, do the drills, and compete.  Now, just go out and get it……

i understand how you are feeling. i too used to be like that. but after i sticked to a strict diet and proper training program, the result was magnificent. as long as you know what you are doing and you are dedicated to it, you'll improve. there's no doubt about it.
