"To become serial winners, there can be no sense of having arrived, no matter how great the achievement. There is no terminus in the winners’ journey. Every win is about learning more about ourselves and is part of preparation for the next arena."  - Coach Frank Dick

Solid week of training ahead to begin an important four week training block.  As always...sleep, recovery, right nutrition and right efforts...must rule the day.
