Innovation is really about trying new things and being a trailblazer in your life, in your sport or whatever it is that you want to do to become successful. You have to innovate. You have to change to get better. I have found that many people are afraid of change; they’re afraid to change their routine because it’s always worked before in the past. They may be afraid to change jobs because they don’t believe in themselves. They may be afraid to change trainers because they’re used to one person. But I have found that in order to succeed you cannot be afraid of change. In order to get better you must innovate.
Make a commitment to yourself today…try something new, make a change for the better, and always realize that deep inside yourself is an innovation waiting to be found!

Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go. It helps us to find out what we are made of. This is what we do. This is what it’s all about.

-Patti Sue Plumer, U.S Olympian

Today’s sacrifices are tomorrow’s rewards

People ask me ‘what was going through your mind in the race?’ and I don’t know. I try and …let my body do what it knows.
