An elite lifter won’t always destroy each and every lift—even the most intense and skilled powerlifter will be injured at some point. Rather than dwell on what they cannot do, top notch athletes focus on what they can.
Train Smart
Every athlete has hopes and aspirations to get in the gym and train their ass off day in and day out. They seek to maximize their time there progressing at exceptional rates. But, life isn’t perfect and very rarely is your journey a straight line from Point A to Point B. Quite often, there are twists and turns, speed bumps and roadblocks that get in the way of optimizing your physical progress. These curveballs could be injuries, time constraints, emergencies or family issues.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDHZPbb7YAw&feature=youtu.be
Anything that can throw off your mental and physical game is a sure way to stall, or even worse, halt progress. An elite athlete knows when to step on the gas and when to apply the brakes. With this perception, he or she can make conscience decisions to “roll with the punches” with whatever life throws in the way.
