The first workout of the 2011 CrossFit Games Open will be released in just over two days.
That is the first time a person will have to say to themselves, “Gosh, I should have worked on this more.”
My challenge to every single person who reads this post and is planning on competing this year is simple:
Make NO excuses.
Take 100% accountability for the shape you’re in, and the progress you’ve made to prepare yourself for this competition.
It’s nobody else’s fault that you’re not better at pistols, or that you can’t clean and jerk more weight.
It will be very difficult at times, but I really want you to try. Know that you are exactly where you should be right now, based on the work you’ve put in over the last month, 6 months, or 12 months.
Giddy-up, guys and gals. The time is now!
(This message applies to most aspects of life, by the way. Taking that FULL accountability for one’s current state is a big challenge for us as humans. Practice it sometimes, it will make you stronger.)
