Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.

Hey all Im back from being off these boards for a while and I apologize for that. I have been keepin my training up and my goals are to improve athleticism, conditioning and skill for sports. My last log I didnt get to finish but those of you who followed know that I followed Intermittent fasting as a project for school, I got an A on the project so that all went well. Now I am training 3x a week full body with conditioning and skill work after it as well.

All might be wondering about my thread title, I feel that the mind in sports controls alot of the way one plays if you can master the art of blocking the fear and nerves of the game, crowd, opponent, ect then you will truly succeed. I also believe it is key to have fun in the game as well. Also I tore my Adductor Magnus which is in my groin and this is also about letting the fear of that go and not using that as an excuse when it comes to performance. I WILL work my butt off to strengthen and condition my body especially my legs due to the tear and prepare myself mentally and physically for my sports season, so come join me on my journey!!!
