Olympic training

The Olympics have been underway for the past while and I always love watching the games. I especially love the athletics (why not just call it track and field) since that is what I used to compete in. I am always struck by some of the elite athletes competing and winning almost effortlessly. Like we say at the school - effortless effort, they make it look easy because of all the time and energy they have put in to get to that point. As I was running this morning, I have to say I didn’t feel like doing this at all, I mean I could always put it off till the evening or maybe even tomorrow, but no I ran my eight km’s and felt great. This is our Olympics right now that we are training for and it just feels good to keep putting in the effort and seeing the results each and every week. I have always said that a true test of someone is when adversity is thrown their way and they continue to push through to the challenge, attitude is everything. This motivation towards our Olympic calibre training puts a smile on my face this time of year. Sifu Bryant
