Run & Train to WinJust a little explanation about Run/Train to Win:What is winning? Is it crossing the finish line first? Throwing the farthest? Jumping the longest? For some, it is all about winning and this is ok because trying to be number one will push their limits. This is what run/train to win is - pushing one's own limits. Winning has many different roads, many different paths, but the end result is the same. One should feel like he or she have won their race, their competition, their battle within themselves and feel as if he or she have done their best that day. For some, their best, is just having fun and enjoying the company of other athletes. For others, winning is getting a personal best or beating the person in front of them. While some athletes just love to win and strive to win or beat their fellow competitor so they will train and compete to win every single time they come to the track. If they don't win, the learning experience will drive them to train and compete harder the next time they face their competition. The end result, everyone is having fun within their own limits; at the same time, winning their battle. My point is, winning isn't always about winning a race, but winning the battle inside of us to become a better athlete - by doing one's best in training and competition; ultimately, becoming a better athlete and a better person. So what ever road an athlete takes, they want to feel as if they have won a little something inside of them. Each individual needs to find what their limits are and be happy with this no matter what anyone thinks. To me, winning is pushing one's own limits. Dale Trenholm, |
