Here’s the truth. Life is hard. Working towards success is hard. Mastering a skill is even harder. When adversity hits, the little voice inside us whispers, “Give up. It isn’t worth it.”

When you listen to yourself you hear how hard it is. The voice inside wants you to quit, but when you start talking to yourself you can change the game.

Student-athlete responsibilities pile on top of each other, and if you as an athlete aren’t equipped to deal with it, then you burn out. Burn out has several forms, but it usually doesn’t end well. It’s my belief that most student-athletes could be performing better overall if they were more equipped to handle these challenges.
