Picture this – you’re a runner who’s just been selected to compete for your country in the Olympics.
The problem is, you can run the 100m sprint and the mile – you’re world class at both events.
You wait for them to tell you which one you’ll be running in but the news doesn’t arrive.
Which event do you prepare for?
Anyone who knows anything about running will know you can’t prepare for both at the same time, especially at such a high level competition.
So it’s not only advisable, but absolutely essential that you know which even you’re being entered for so you can be properly prepared.
What’s the point of this?
Only this – you have to have a clear goal to succeed in whatever it is you’re doing, or intend to do.
If you know you’ll be running the 100m sprint you know you will need to be able to run at maximum speed over the whole distance.
So you will need to train for speed and strength.
If you’re running the mile you will need to train more for stamina, with less emphasis on stength and speed than for the 100m.
What it boils down to is the fact that you need a clear goal to succeed in your event.
Once you know which one you’re going for you can then focus your energy on the correct method of training to achieve the goal you’re after – winning.
Short and sweet as I just wanted to leave you with a little something before I go away again for another week in London.
Keep a lookout for my next report on focus and how to achieve your goals which should be up week after next, once I’m back from Drayton Bird’s week long course on direct marketing.
Best,
Rezbi
