It has been one week since boot camp and I have really had to revaluate my current way of thinking. I was really not satisfied with my personal performance I thought I was further along. So this week I was reminded of a story once told to me by a mentor.
It is about Tiger Woods. Tiger was coached and mentored by his father. He went on to become arguably the best golfer of all time. His form faded in the second half of 1997, and in 1998 he only won one PGA Tour event. He answered critics of his "slump" and what seemed to be wavering form by maintaining he was undergoing extensive swing changes with his coach, Butch Harmon. When Tiger was asked by Butch what part of his game they should work on. Tiger answered my short game, it is mechanically my weakest. Butch then asked which part is you’re strongest. Tiger came back with my drives are the best in the world. Perfect we will work on your drives make them better so we don’t need your short game. The rest is history Tiger has gone on to become a true great in the game of golf.
So last week I decided to adopt the same mentality. This week I have knocked off 1 minute and 45 seconds from my 2km run. I have gone from a BBT four to a seven in one week. I have been a pretty good runner in the past and felt it can and will be a strength. Sit ups I scored a seven last week next that needs to be a ten. So by picking off strength’s and exploiting them I am improving my overall score.
Truly it means I am improving my entire fitness program in a much more positive way then beating myself up.
I still need to post my Junes goal reveiws and my new challenges and goals for July. Still chasing my last requirement on my current belt. Need to work on combinations. Will add this in for sure this month.
