Two of the kids I worked with for a number of years have had a stellar week. Darcy Harry won her first European Golf Tour Event, and Joel Makin had his first win on the Professional Squash Association Tour.
Darcy was following in the footsteps of her talented older brother, Tim. Joel lacked the technical abilities of his peer group. Both were underdogs, neither fancied as professional athletes, and yet here we are.
I built Elite Fitness on the idea of elite performance and winning, after all, the tagline in bold across a wall in the gym was:
“It’s not the taking part that counts.”
But, now what I wish it said:
“Don’t look for success, look for commitment.”
