It Hurts Bad. Worse Than Anything You Have Ever Felt Before

It Has To Hurt

You set out to achieve greatness and you have come up short. You met your match.

You nowrealize that you gave it your all, and your all just wasn’t enough. And it hurts.

It hurts bad. Worse than anything you have ever felt before.

There is only one thing left to do – Trust in the process.

It has to hurt.

For hurt that festers in your soul gets converted into drive, hard work and ambition. All vital ingredients needed to propel you to the next level.

There are only 14 wrestlers per year that win their last 4 matches of the season.

Don’t let aloss defeat you. Especially twice.

You will learn more from your losses than you ever will from your wins.

Let the loss hurt. When it hurts, it means you care. When you care, you will figure it out.

Rededicate yourself. I needn’t remind you that you didn’t set out to achieve something ordinary.

Youset out to accomplish something extraordinary. Therefore, it is going to require an extraordinary effort.

Hungry wrestlers are willing and able to go through physical and mental torture.So stand back up.

First look back, and see how far you’ve come. Then look ahead, and see how much further there is to go.

I guarantee the shorter distance is the one ahead of you.

Shelve the feelings of discouragement and just focus on the work.

Wrestling is the greatest sport on earth for the sole reason that the people who are willing to work, will see success. It is not a matter of if –But when.

Be relentless in your pursuit of your goal. Make yourwill the strongest part of your makeup.

There is a reason why you are going through what you are going through. Believe that.

Everything happens for a reason, else it would have happened differently.

There is something that you need to learn to best prepare you for what is to come.

Understand there is still more to be learned. Concentrate on progress and not perfection.

Count the times yougave 100% for 6 minutes this year. Thentop that effort next year.

That’s it.It’s that simple.You will get there.Hurt is an indispensable part of the formula for greatness.

Aloss is not where the journey ends.It is where the initiationinto greatness begins
