Faith

Do you have faith? Faith in yourself? Faith in your program? Faith in your development? It is my strong belief that to reach your fullest potential you must truly believe that your training is going to move you in the right direction. Faith goes hand in hand with confidence, without one the other can't survive. How can you be confident when it comes time to perform when you have no faith in your program?

   That was one of my biggest problems this summer, it was the first time I have trained on my own exclusively for an entire season and there were a lot of holes in my knowledge (many of which I've since filled) that left me second guessing myself all summer. I would spend a week doing one thing then be convinced that it was doing more harm then good and completely rework the next week until instead of periodizing I was just running in circles, chasing my own tale. Not a day has gone by since that I don't wish I could go back and click "redo" but so is life, and I'm stronger because of my failure. It's time to start looking forward.
