“What stands in the way becomes the way.” – Marcus Aurelius

Turn obstacles into opportunities for growth and success.

Try it, you won’t be disappointed.

This is what it delivered for my client, Yves, on race day:

OBSTACLES

1.⁠ ⁠Storm on race day

2.⁠ ⁠3-week post-recovery from bronchitis

3.⁠ ⁠Heavy training block due to lack of exercise during illness

ACHIEVEMENTS

1.⁠ ⁠PR on race day: sprint triathlon = 1:19

2.⁠ ⁠Mental resilience that turned the obstacles into competitive advantages

3.⁠ ⁠Sheer drive to push the limits for a PR in a race with little age group competition, but plenty of elite youngsters and an older “beast” to push him forward

“Looks like no PR’s today,” as he updated me on the rainy weather while eating his pre-race breakfast.

His remark was timely, as I was deep into reading “The Obstacle is the Way” by @RyanHoliday .

So, I shared with him my mental game of always turning those surprise uncontrollables into competitive advantages during competitions.

Learning more about the backdrop to Yves’ pre-race routine after his PR, I am sure he would have achieved this without my unsolicited advice😉

But... I want to share this with all those who care about searching for those pillars of growth in life and sport.

Make those obstacles your North Star with laser focus.

Love the improvement process, not just the outcomes.

It continues to be an honor to guide athletes like Yves to better technique, because this is a true test of one’s ability to embrace the improvement process while experiencing the exhilarating outcomes like running efficiency, speed, and longevity.

Growth mindset made life almost limitless for me. It all started with running🚀 @coachajkings @thewinningdiff1 @RunAmherst @AdamKedge @CoachBechler

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Everyone told me to work hard and be tough, but nobody told me the six things that actually matter.

[Matt Heberling PhD @MMHeberling]

💡body language and visualization empower success on and off the field🚀 @coachajkings @RunAmherst @thewinningdiff1

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Tom Coughlin said, "You never want an opponent to see you in anything, but strength."

"You don't want bad language. You don't want that as a stamp of who you are."

Your body language speaks before you do.

Your presence, your tone, your energy - everything speaks.

[Matt Heberling PhD @MMHeberling]

@Center_Grove_XC Congratulations! Very impressive. Good luck in the coming weeks!

[Matt Heberling PhD @MMHeberling]

💡Entitlement hinders, actions elevate 🚀 @RunAmherst @thewinningdiff1

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Nick Saban said, "You get up every day, you're entitled to: Nothing."

"Nothing is acceptable, but your best."

It means show up, do the work, and earn it every day.

Your thoughts drive what you want.
Your actions drive what you get.

Embracing the improvement process makes ‘paying the price’ feel comfortably expected. Wishing the Comet Harriers Heroes unleashed competitiveness tomorrow at the conference champs! 💛@RunAmherst @SteeleComets @steelegirlsxc 💚🚀🥇@thewinningdiff1

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"You can’t just want it-you have to pay a price."

The price of success is non-negotiable.
You don’t get to decide if you’ll pay-only when and how.
You either pay in discipline now, or you pay in regret later.
Everybody wants to win.
Not everybody’s willing to pay the price.
