FAILURE.

Updated: Feb 15

What is great about each class are the little successes. But what what is even more inspiring is to see our athletes focus on their willingness to do what they believe they can't, but try it anyway.




The 'I can't do that’ mindset is always there lurking but when the ... 'How would you know if you haven't tried?' or the ‘Keep on going, you got this’ voice speaks a little

louder and we listen, it’s a game changer...


But the fact is, IT DOES NOT MATTER if you 'fail'.If you fall on your bum, can't quite get the rep, or have to scale back - it’s not about perfection, or your idea of perfection, it's all about the feeling of trying and the learning from it.


A lot of us put things off that we don't think we can excel in, the fear of failure is a thief of joy because we can all enjoy something without being the best. We need to 'fail' in order to get better, to experience and to grow.


What is failure anyway? It is something you put upon yourself.

With so much pressure daily to get the right marks, pass the test, be the best, we set ourselves up for failure with constant comparisons. Failure is what we make it and failing is just a way of finding better ways of doing things, to gain better experiences, and to have a better understanding of ourselves.


THE FEAR OF FAILURE IS THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS US FROM SUCCEEDING.
