When coaching volleyball, I tell my players, "Show me something to believe in!" That's all I ask. I know if my players can turn me into a believer, they can turn anyone into a believer...And people believe in results, and results mean my players are getting better!
As every athlete knows, the only way to get better is to push the body beyond it's "imagined" limits. The body is so much stronger than you think! In June 2018, I began my skating career. Doubts fill my head and heart while working to overcome my limitations. Originally I shared my dreams with a very select handful of friends until one of them asked why I was so stingy with my ambitions.
"I'm just afraid people will think I'm crazy, and besides, I probably won't make it...I'm just giving it my best shot." I replied.
"That doesn't make any sense Juicer! I tell everyone I know that my friend wants to be an Olympian!"
...Wow, at her response, I ate my own words, realizing people are sitting in my corner, believing.
I love believing in people, but to have people believing in me, a 37 year old rookie--astonishing!
