Heart-of-a-champion

You gotta have heart

I am watching a Rocky movie and realize that he had one thing his opponents never had, heart. We have all heard the clichés that we have to have heart. It is true in training. No matter what physical, financial, or mental gifts we have been awarded it matters little if we do not love what we are doing. We must love what we do on a day to day basis. If we do it to gain respect, or gain money, the return on our efforts will mean little. We have to have heart, love, to make a difference.

I have lost much in life as we all have. No matter what I sacrificed I never lost my love of training. Yes, there are those who make more money than I make. Yes, there are those who have gained acclaim for training. The only reason I have coached and competed on an international level is my love of the sport. The bottom line is I love training. I can train anyone who loves what they do and make a champion out of them.

The next time you go training watch a Rocky movie the night before and get his message. Love what you are doing in the gym. It matters.

Get stronger, it matters!                                                                        docsgym@live.com
