Rolling With The Punches Just Got Real
Hi There
Sometimes things do not go as planned. In fact they go way, way wrong. As a Sport Scientist I see this alot in the sporting environment. We train towards a goal/tournament and we lose due to a technicality or because of bad behaviour. What we need to understand is that there is so much factors that influence our performance. Most if not all to a degree we have no control over them.
This is why training for all of them is impossible but necessary. All the factors should be brought into training. That is why teams has game plan sessions and strategy planning. Because we need to prepare for the unexpected and unforeseen if possible.
The bad part is even if we train for the unsuspected we still have to deal with the technicalities and roll with the punches. As athletes we can not get hung up on the coach/Referee/officials. We still need to perform under scrutiny. We need to build up resilience and not let anything impact their performance.
Resilience is one thing that can make or break an athlete.It is what the difference between amateur and champion. It should be part of your training and a part of who you are.
We need to roll with the punches even if it hurts, is unfair and unforeseen. Then we need to get up and push forward.
Nothing worthwhile comes easy
Keep Moving until next time👋
