Aim higher, dream bigger.
But what if I fall?
But what if you fly?
If there’s one skill I have as a Personal Trainer, it’s the ability to make people do things they don’t want to do because they don’t think they can do it.
And often, all it takes is for one person to say, “I believe in you. Go get it”.
So it was, 10 clients, some reluctantly agreeing, others kicking and screaming, to put themselves in the arena and face up to vulnerability outside of their comfort zone.
Our first .fit games and the squad came good.
For some, things got dark and they had to dig deep.
My voice in their head: “This is just another training session like all the ones you’ve done, with a shiny medal at the end”
The highlights were observing all the team delivering textbook movement standards without cutting corners. A son watching her mum lead by example, conquering those burpees despite suffering cramps. A wife watching her wife grow from strength to strength ticking off yet another challenge this year of challenges. Guys doing the hard thing in preparation for a bigger challenge yet to come.
And somewhere amongst the midst of me being everyone’s biggest cheerleader, I had gone and podiumed by finishing 3rd myself.
What if I fail in front of all my clients?
What if you fly and bloody podium third?
The point here: if your goals don’t scare you, you’re not dreaming big enough.
