I feel the need to make a comment about the team thing that people seem to dislike here on FB. There is no question that every athlete that becomes a part of a training team wants to win. Yes, that means they will compete against their teammates. But I dont think that you have to be rivals or enemies in order to compete against one another. I think competitors all want to win against the BEST. So by encouraging everyone to do and be their best can still happen within the team. This doesnt mean that our team doesnt like your team or that were a better team than you. It means that we work together toward a common goal. It means that we boost each other up when were feeling down. It means the veterans help the rookies. It means we occasionally have cheat meals together. It means that every athlete on the team has chosen to be there because this sport goes far beyond just the athlete getting up on the stage. And its WAY more than just physical. If it wasnt, everyone could be a success. I do agree with someone who said know your worth. By NO means does the team mean that your coach/es MADE you. Nobody does the work but YOU. YOU are the one who shapes your body and mind. YOU are the one who has the discipline. YOU and only YOU. Oh, wait. I mean YOU and your teammates. Many people feel a greater sense of power, strength and belonging when theyre on a team. Being part of a training team does not mean that you have group pep rallies and throw darts at other teams. It means that you are part of a collection of people who believe in the same things and trust the same people to guide them through the process. I really dont see whats so bad about that... do you?
