“ There will be tough workouts when the athlete has to really dig deep, believe, and not give up when the pain seems too much. The athlete can respond in one of two ways: Yield to the pain and selfdoubt or decide that fear will not determine his or her potential. It's hard (and usually uncomfortable) work breaking through old barriers and selfdefeating thought patterns to see meaningful progress, and fear is an absolutely natural response, but you can't let it become a limiter. ”
