if you can see it, you can be it

Great athletes and leaders do it

Long before any event…

They see every detail in their minds

They do not think “I am going to win”

They think about slowing their heart rate at the top of the run

They think about being dead center in the middle of the track

They see themselves being absolutely motionless

They feel that first turn as if it was real

They see exactly where the sled exits the first turn

They see the long straightaway that follows

When you want something really badly

See yourself getting it

See the process of getting it

See what lies ahead of you

Play the run over and over again in your head

Pay attention to the smallest details

Focus on the journey, not the destination

If you do this, you will not only get what you want…

But you will also love the journey that takes you there

When you are finishing doing this, do it again

If you can see it, you can be it
