A Great Motivational Poem for You or Your Athletes

Hey Coach, 

I recently came across a poem sent to me by one of my mentors Todd Herman.  This was from the speeches he gave to young athletes when he launched The Peak Athlete in 1997. 

I believe it’s still relevant today and so I wanted to share it with you . . .maybe this is a motivator for you to keep putting in the work to get ready for your upcoming season or something you can send to your athletes. 

The Cycle
 

The more I train, 

The quicker I get. 

The quicker I get, 

The slower they seem. 

The slower they seem, 

The easier the game. 

The easier the game, 

The greater the threat. 

The greater the threat, 

The more attention I draw. 

The more attention I draw, 

The tighter they play me. 

The tighter they play me, 

The more I train. 

Train on . . . 

– Mandy
