How bad do you want to be good?

EVERY ATHLETE  

Has something that drives them. Motivates them. Inspires them. 

 

EVERY ATHLETE  

Battles boredom/burnout and injuries from time to time. 

NOT EVERY ATHLETE 

Has the expertise and training knowledge they need to overcome obstacles. 

AND THAT'S WHERE WE COME IN.
