Road to CDA 06: Weekly Quote
LIMITERS
"Most athletes train the way they want to train. Athletes who are able to consistently improve season after season train the way they need to train. It can be difficult for an athlete to focus on the areas that are holding him or her back, because most of us developed our strengths in our favorite training areas. The intelligent athlete is one who is constantly addressing his or her limiters....a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. If you continue to focus on your strengths only, you will not consistently improve."
