“The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable.”
~Sun TzuI am feeling millitaristic today. Athletics has always been an easy association with war- victory, defeat, strategy, discipline, training, etc. (although holistically I do not think that is what the core of participation is all about, it is a part of the competitive environment).
So, are we ready to receive the enemy? What are you doing to prepare yourself for what awaits us?
If today's preparation determines tomorrow's achievements, and each of our achievements is directly linked to the efforts of the person right in front of and right behind us in the ranks; are we going to experience success? Are our failures going to be from a lack of trying?
