Set Your Sights Higher
Share
If you don’t start with the idea that it’s possible to perform without pain, to fully rehab, to never have to worry about your injury again, to be able to recover fully and completely AS you work or perform so you never have to break FROM your work or performance
Then you’ll never get there
And here’s what i mean
Let’s say you’re a thrower and you’ve been educated your whole life and experienced your whole life that you need 3 days to recover after throwing in game to be able to throw hard again
It’s happened over and over and over again
Great
What that does is set that up as a reality in your universe that that’s the way it is
So if another individual comes along and says
Dawg, you know you could throw hard as you wanted everyday if you changed this, this, and this
That sounds like a complete lie because it goes against everything you’ve ever experienced and everything you’ve ever been told
And that makes logical sense. Like yeah man i don’t believe you because i have never experienced it and i have never seen anyone else do it
Good
But WHAT IF there was a different way to prepare, a different way to train, a different way to think, to feel, to LIVE that would actually allow that?
Like no lie, what if there ACTUALLY was a way you could be that would allow that?
I AM NOT saying to do this or that we do this with myself or any of the athletes we work with
But WHAT IF your training was 5 hours a day instead of 1.5 hours per day and it was ALL impulses as hard as you possibly could and SOMEHOW that made throwing incredibly easy to where you could throw hard as you wanted everyday
Again - I am NOT saying this is a reality - i am saying this would be an alternate EXAMPLE of HOW preparation COULD be different that would lead to a different level of preparedness
Right - like it’s not about saying that’s a solution or that this has anything to do with impulses
It’s showing that there COULD be an alternate reality where your body would feel different based off what you did to prepare it
And it’s not even saying it would require 5 hours a day - again, that’s simply an extreme example to make the point
The point here is
If you never ALLOW yourself to CONSIDER that recovering fully as you work is not a POSSIBILITY
Then you never give yourself the opportunity to actually figure out how to get closer and closer and closer to that
So it’s like even if you have no idea how
Even if it sounds like a complete lie
Even if you’re like never in a hundred years do I ACTUALLY think that could happen….
If you will allow yourself to simply consider there is some small slight change that it COULD
Then you will open your mind to how
And now you’re looking at possibilities and potential
Instead of restriction and limitation
