Attitude is Everything

Hello everyone, Soupha here.  Ty’s been working like a dog over at IGT the last couple weeks (late nights, an all nighter, weekends), so if he looks a little harrowed, distracted, like a zombie… at least you all know why!  So ya got me.

Yesterday was a particularly challenging day, mentally, at CFI.  The snatch is an enormously technically lift that can take years to perfect.  It takes explosiveness, agility, coordination, finesse, and a good attitude.  Like I tell my kids every other day, if you’re not having fun, change your attitude.   These are all things that take work; a lot of it.  So kudos to you who showed up even knowing that all we’d be doing was the snatch.  Way to step up to the challenge!  Like all your trainers at CFI will tell you, just showing up is half the battle.  And for me, having a good attitude is the other half.

The Victor, by C W Longenecker

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not,  you don’t
If you like to win but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost.
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will.
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are.
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win the prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

Rowing Assessment

There are still a couple spots left for tomorrow’s rowing clinic with Angie.  You might not regret missing it until the next rowing WOD, when you’re struggling to keep a 2:20 pace while your neighbor looks like she’s bored being on the rower.  **Carlos’ regular classes are cancelled for the day.**

Hope you all have enjoyed Sean’s guest programming these past couple weeks.  Today’s heinous number is a little diddy he concocted.    Debbie’s back on it on Monday!
