I recently heard on a Monday Night Football broadcast that the Kansas City Chiefs have a banner on their practice field that says, "You get better, or you get worse. You don't stay the same." I think that's a great motivating statement because it's such an intimidating statement. Nobody wants to be the one getting worse. This second half of the season, it will be easy for me to check out because I'm already committed to a school, but I have to remember I still have a lot of goals I want to reach, and my desire to be the best is going to drive me to continue to get better and continue to push myself.
I just got back into Boise after about 2 weeks traveling through Italy with my family--I haven't been on the ice--so, understandably, the past few weeks, I might have gotten a little worse. But, at the same time, I took a well-needed break and had some family time that I absolutely needed to refresh myself for this second half. Everyone needs a little break every now and then or they'll burn out. Now, though, it's time for me to get back on the horse and continue to push myself to get better every day and reach for my goals. I'm going to go hard during this week I have before our practices start up again (we start on Monday the 9th) and make sure I start out the second half on the right foot and in the right mental state.
By the way, I'm still on Italy time, and I can't sleep, so that's why I'm up blogging at 4:30 in the morning. I know, I'm crazy.
