Factors Needed For Athletic Success as well as factors needed to live life fully.
"Power--i.e., muscular strength, stamina, an overall fit organism.
Technique--i.e., 'Know-how,' being the master of the details of the event or endeavor.
Confidence--i.e., will to win and courage. Both these are dependent somewhat upon inherited factors and past experience justifying a hopeful approach.
Persistence: This factor shows up in steady and continued training, irrespective of 'feelings', weather or other conditions, social or other 'temptations' or interruptions.
Character: this factor is mainly the result of early training, a mature and realistic attitude to life, an accepting of responsibility for our behavior and acts. Also, to strive hard, to learn, to suffer, to win or lose; in this way character is made."
It's interesting--involvement in athletics can develop good character, but, if you have good character going into athletics, it's a huge plus towards achieving personal success.
The above 'Factors' quote was by athlete, coach, philosopher Percy Wells Cerutty.
Hour long walk with stretching before,during and after--
How was your day?
