Since today is Remembrance Day in Canada and Veterans Day in the USA, I think a change of scenery of the regular track talk is warranted.

These tips can explain why you have a passion for Track and Field… or whatever you do in life.

These tips will explain why I still blog, going into my 6th year!

Enjoy!

  1. Be with others who make you smile (Studies prove we’re happier around those that are also happy)
  2. Hold on to your values (What you find true, what you know is fair, and what you believe in — never let those go)
  3. Accept the good (take stock of what’s working in your life!)
  4. Imagine the best (vision yourself getting what you really want)
  5. Do things you love
  6. Find purpose (find a way of contributing to the well-being of humanity. People tend to find great pride in that)
  7. Listen to your heart (keep your day job for the time being, but follow your passions)
  8. Push yourself, not others (Stop blaming others and you’ll find your answers much sooner)
  9. Be open to change (change happens, so emotionally shore yourself up for the experience)
  10. Bask in the simple pleasures (silly jokes, warm days, starry nights)

      @Fred, I am glad someone out there enjoys my posts :) But I will stick to track and speed/power/strength sports 99.9% of the time.

    And we’re certainly happy to hear that.

    Off topic: from which sport outside of track and field have you received the most inquiries and attention concerning your coaching and training methods and programs?

      @Fred, the answer to that is easy: SOCCER. But I live in Rome, so that is a bit geographically biased.

      From an online perspective, it’s a combination of football, soccer and rugby.
