The meaning of Training....and its results

“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We're afraid.”
“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We will fall!”
“Come to the edge.”
And they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.

Guillaume Apollinaire, 1880-1918

I was sent this poem by my girlfriend this morning from an article on www.ironman.com I immediately thought about training when you push your athletes or yourself to achieve better results. We are scared at times to push ourselves beyond our comfortable zone. To achieve better results and reach our potential I'm afraid we have to get out of the comfortable zone and take risks. "and they came. and he pushed them. and they flew.'....... The result is success, the result is winning, the result is reaching your potential.

Keep Training Hard........ Season is round the corner.
