30 minutes left ...
You're on a competition right now. See all the other athletes while everyone warming up and preparing theirself for race. You do it to...
25 minutes left ...You did a few practises by jogging etc.
20 minutes left ...
"Ohh only 20 minutes" think you. You have time. No hectic or stress.
15 minutes left ...
You feeling good right now. The body is warm; the muscles are ready to explode by movement; your mind is free. You do some exercises which bring yourself a few seconds to your limit - only some seconds - maybe you do it again.
10 minutes left ...
"So now it's enough" - You relax now - stretch a little bit. You check again your mind. Think about what could be in the competition. Millions of different situations - but don't be stress. Keep it easy baby ...
5 minutes ...
Now you're in the competition feeling; ready to suffer; ready to risk; ready to life.
You see all the people, who are interest to see the race ... to see the sport ... to see passion ... to see good and bad times ... and some want to see you.
Some will say "Good luck!" while smiling to you - some will clap their hand with yours ...
And a group of people will remember you ...
No matter what will happen the last 5 minutes - in the deepest level of your mind something moved. Something really special.
The race is over - „The result is strange....." you say to yourself“I though I would be better - ok I had some problem with _____ and the ______ wasn't so good. But ok, next time I try to do it better"
Other trainer, athletes or friends start to small talking with you. Nice or? I like it very much. After a race to start talking. Maybe you get a tip or a push of your supporters. I will check these, what could be good for me. Or maybe it's a point on which I thing about it and this lead me to another discernment. Good for me...
„What’s up with you?!" - Screw someone behind you - "It's that the honour which you give me?!" - You turn around and think „Who is that?"
The answer: your family
Little kids are happy. Little kids are sad or angry. Little kids dreaming. Little kids are inquisitive. Little kids are trying. Every minute ... every second.
But the thing which I like most is that little kids not tell you a lie. You think in this moment that this isn't true - that I tell you wrong thinks and be self a liar. But that is true. Maybe they start to joke - but without a bad ulterior motive. They want to have fun - no matter which age you're - you want it to.So what would a kid do when you criticize by persons like your parents? And remember - you're the little kid who influence of everything. 10 opinions - Which you would choose?
A basic fact of education is that a person can learn everything. It's not like the ethical thinking- in which every person has a destiny or biological austerities from the parents.
I give you one example:
- in the Nazis time (30's and 40's): kids and youth were a tight part of the society. They were in the Hitler Jugend in which the government force them national socialistically thinking.
What every you want - you can teach it the kid(s). Whether they are the beautiful blond girl or the sporty active boy. Tell them it, show it.... but first - listen.
Without the details about a problem you can do nothing. No matter what they'll tell you - because there is a reason why they tell it you.
Every one of us has problems.
Some people more or less. But we have.
Every one of us has different problems.
Some people more or less. But they're different.
Every one of us has special way to work with the problems.
Some people do it good or not. But a problem is problem.
Every one of us has different problems in their part of life which every one of us works different.
Kids don't know in there short life time without big experience about belief, motivation, risk or defeat.
This is for all parents - in the next sentences I don't want to criticize you. It's your kids who you love more words can say. You all want only the best. You want to see your children shining.
But in one point some parents destroy it. They destroy it by involving theirself into a thing were they aren't able to do the "right" choices. We all now that the word "right" or "wrong" is relative.
Without a dominate coach or leader (dominate in a good way) what a young person should think about a race. Without tips of experience of a known people.
But please don't criticize your kids in sport! That is a thing which I hate. Really hate. At home is at home. Don't talk about the problems from home. Don't do it! It destroys in less than 1 second all the time of preparations. It's the weekend - it's the time to shine. It's the time to make dreams true. So be a supporter with the though „what sever you do - I will stand behind you. Whether it was bad or good - I will support you. It's your life and your decision - If you have a question - I will tell you my experience if I can". So if you were a sport person too - you could be able.
Everyone of us can have a bad day. Heavy legs or not the mental power to day.People make mistakes - mistakes make people.
Don't be angry of sad. Sleep one night and try to be better.
