Determination/Working toward your goals

Lets start out with and example this week was the first week of soccer practice Coach is pushing us and my legs are burning we are running full sprints after an already hard practice I feel my mind and muscles telling me no I start to slow down starting  to give up. but with coach yelling faster! faster! you can be tired in the end boys! it motivates me to go faster because the faster I go the faster I will be done. I finish and i'm proud I have made it through another practice. Even this small experience sparked an idea why was my mind telling me not to keep pushing?  Well the answer is simple you don't know how far you can actually  push your self till you try every athlete knows this. the thing about being an athlete  is that you must get in the mind set that your performance is never good enough that you always can improve a good quote for this :Gold medals aren't really made of gold. They're made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.
with this improvement you can reach goals you never thought you could reach, most of the time athletes get in the mindset that what they are doing now is enough to make them improve in the long run. This is wrong you need to push harder and harder each day at training, because with every push the strong you become. The reason we push so hard at practice is for the glory at the end of the struggle. coach describes this  a lot at practice he sets up the scenario that practice is the work that you do every week the hard work, you do at your job and the more work you put in that week is how much you will get paid at the end of the week. Game day is the pay day all the work you have put in that week is now rewarded you are getting paid! all that hard work was worth it! song of the week: K'naan- Wavin Flag
