"Somewhere, someone is practicing. And when you meet her on the field, face to face, one on one, she'll beat you. Unless that someone who is practicing is you. So work the left, run the stairs, crank the corners. Give it everything you've got, everyday. And when you get tired and feel like quitting, ask yourself, is the other girl tired? Is she quitting? Leave nothing on the field and go hard or go home."
This quote is my jam on winter break. Yes, we have a team full of 24 girls who ALL have committed everything they have to this team thus far. I am with Traci in the fact that I do not doubt any of you will not come back from break in tip top shape, but we all have those moments where skipping a workout to hang out with our friends who we rarely see, seems like a much better option than running sprints.
Everyone realize that there are countless other teams who are preparing for pre-season, each and every team has a goal to finish in the #1 spot. This break is for you to keep those teams in the back of your mind as you do your own workout because it's not just about simply completing each day, it's about pushing it and giving it everything you have each and every day.
If you want to win a National Championship, you must go beyond expectations. You must bring each workout to the next level. Do not do the work out to simply get by, do it to make yourself better. So when you're running your sprints, whether you're alone or with a friend, think of anyone on any other team... how hard do you think they're training? If they were running with you right now, would they be in front of you, or behind you?
GOOD LUCK
