I think motivated athletes are a different breed. Every year friends and family ask me- "is this your really busy time?" And I say yes, but it's not because people are crawling out of the woodwork to get motivated. It's because this is the time that I ask my athletes to make commitments to their training and race goals, to get truly focused on what they want to accomplish in 2010. These are athletes who are already dedicated to themselves and to the sport, they are already consistent in their workouts, they are motivated to come in to our group cycling classes, strength classes and swim classes.
What I think is amazing is that for some reason Jan 1st always has people fixated on changing something. I have an idea, why not change whatever it is that you want to work on today? Why wait? Why do we need a specific date to allow ourselves to change?
If it's motivation that you need, well, just come into our cycling classes at Landry's on Tuesday or Thursday nights or even at the 6am class on Wednesday mornings. Those athletes are ready, focused, and sweating it out every week. Or how about jumping into the pool on Monday mornings? I am looking forward to another 10 weeks in the pool. Or even more- challenge yourself with our weekly strength workouts on Mondays or Thursdays- if you really want to make a change, the time is now.
Happy New Year To All. Looking forward to a solid year in 2010.
