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.

What a breakable and delicate thing a heart was, no wonder I’d kept mine locked away. ”

“ At one time or another we are all called to leave the safety of our homes, the certainty of what we know, the illusions of who we are. Not everyone will heed this call, of course.
