apacheathlete/2014/04/26/4-26-14-2/ Your mind is very smart. Well maybe you knew that. Your mind is also very protective. The Central Governing Theory of fatigue means that because your brain is so worried about oxygen deprivation it will shut your muscles down even though there is no real imminent danger, it’s just kind of close. Most workouts such as the Open have a huge mental component and some athletes have an uncanny ability to override this system. Do they train it? Yes. But, I truly believe that for whatever reason some people can just dig deeper when it matters most. Should you seek to be a master at all skills and make workouts look effortless? Yup. But, the day will come when the wall will hit and somewhere deep inside of you there will be a choice. We live for that moment. That moment is what you will remember when your gray and old. Don’t let it slip through your fingers. To be completely honest, I have a images from my past that flash through my mind at these moments. Errors in baseball when it mattered most. Ground balls in the hole that just missed my glove. Times growing up being second best to my brother. Moments I wasn’t the man I wished I was. I don’t want to live another one of those moments and that is what drives me through the suck. It’s not a choice. It’s a test.
