Quote time

Scott Schwab
Today's quote comes from one of the all time greats. Why was he great at coaching is the question that I ask. I believe that it comes from his obvious ability to see past the mark. Many times we limit ourselves with just getting the bare minimum. If we can look a little further or perhaps ponder a little more, we will start to learn great things. The coaches name is John Wooden and if you know anything about Basketball you will know that his name is synonymous with it. His quote is on the importance of talent;

"No matter how you total success in the coaching profession, it all comes down to a single factor--talent. There may be a hundred great coaches of whom you have never heard in basketball, football, or any sport who will probably never receive the acclaim they deserve simply because they have not been blessed with the talent. Although not every coach can win consistently with talent, no coach can win without it."
Take whatever you would like from this quote, I would simply like to interject that all of us have talent. As we age we should be confident in what we can do and look to improve what we cant do. If you are trying, you have talent. I say that because anyone who tries and does not quite, possesses great talent for persistence and life.
This week we will hear from some of the individuals that did not quite and worked hard for the 8 week challenge. If you started and stopped, make a new goal and begin with the end in mind. If you didn't start, find something that you would like to improve upon and make it happen. Whether health or fitness, we must look at ourselves as a course for improvement. WE CAN AlWAYS IMPROVE! Each person will post on how they did the challenge, their successes and possible failures. Each person is just an ordinary person that pushed themselves a little harder. This week will be dedicated to those who did it and also those who didn't but would like to. Hopefully you find courage or strength to do a person challenge for yourself. We welcome anyone who would like to take on the next 8 week challenge which will be determined in the near future.
