18 Traits of Being Mentally Strong by Lacey Henderson

So I am almost done with the second week of off season training with my new coaches and training group. I won’t lie. These work outs have been HARD. Like, really really hard. Like I can’t believe I’m not in the hospital hard…

But that means that hopefully the upcoming season will be really good! Which is awesome.

So unfortunately I haven’t been updating as much as I like, because along with my physical body, my brain is kind of exhausted too.

My coach sent us an email recently that I think is very simple, but really powerful so I wanted to share it with the masses. This can apply to anything in anyone’s life which is pretty cool.
