“Champions aren’t addicted to tomorrow because they are too busy focusing on today.” – Nick Saban
To a certain extent, everyone understands the logic behind staying present.
They understand the benefits of focusing on the here and now, void of concern, worry, and speculation of what’s “next”.
Yet when the heat is on, it’s also quite clear to all of us that this is an easier said than done task, where many struggle… and fall.
The root of this problem is something we can all relate to – fear.
The False Reality Appearing Real.
The incorrect belief that we need to act or perform a certain way today, or we won’t reach our goals tomorrow. This is where, in those moments where the mind wanders, we want to center ourselves on something specific:
The goal is not to be perfect tomorrow.
The goal is to be better… today.

– While we want to push the pace on the bike, we need to find a pace we can hold over the course of the 15 minutes.
– We also want to be sure that our pace on the bike isn’t so aggressive that it causes us to break on the wallballs.
– Quick transitions are key here as well.
