We learn in the gym that we have to be “real.”
Those who are not real in their perspectives will not last long and are destined to fail. You have to accept the circumstances you are given and not waste time wondering why you are not the same as so-and-so.
You can’t feel sorry for the fact you tore your pec, blew out your knee, or that your bench has gone nowhere in two years.
We learn to gauge where we are at any given time by how the weights “feel.” We train, expecting the best yet knowing that the outcome carries with it a degree of uncertainty.
We understand that the best training cycle may not always equal the best meet day, and that a bad training cycle does not necessarily lead to a bad day on the platform.
We learn to train using intangible feedback in a sport that carries much uncertainty. We learn to thrive in chaos and use everything we can to get stronger.
This lesson can set us apart from others in the business world as well.
