My time spent as an athlete and coach has taught me many lessons, but the greatest outlier is that consistency is a must.
Those who are eager to give their best every day and not even consider buying into distractions will be the ones who earn long term success.
Show up
Work hard
Strive for consistency over perfection
Find joy in the activity itself
Go on the journey with friends
Play the long game, instead of chasing short term results
Do that and you'll end up pretty dang good at whatever it is you are doing.
If you want to be a successful heptathlete or decathlete in college, you need a coach who has either competed in them or thoroughly studied and appreciates them for what they are (preferably both). They are not 7 or 10 different events, they are ONE event! #multiappreciationpost
You can't give Allen a FS for a .099 reaction time.
0.10 is an arbitrary standard.
There's no science behind 0.10 being fine and 0.099 being impossible.
It's BS. He should be allowed to run.
