Racing and preparation continue.  Great things happening.  School records, standards met, all-time lists re-written, personal bests.  Who's next?  Why not you?

Ever tried.
Ever failed.
No matter.
Try again.
Fail again.
Fail better.
- Samuel Beckett

Repeat from previous weeks... from Pete Carroll, NCAA Champion and Super Bowl Champion coach - "don't show up to win, show up to compete."  The focus of the former is the outcome, the focus of the latter is the process.  Follow the process and success will come.

The mantras remain the same... build CONFIDENCE by reflecting, and writing down, where your Effort was right, where you had Success, and where you made Progress.  Prepare for your next opportunities... execute early with poise, engage in competition, and finish with effort.
