The journey of reaching your potential is a slow and tedious process that takes place over many days and years of commitment. This journey never ends but changes as goals are met and new goals are set.
With this in mind the focus of athletes should be on gaining the "slight edge" (great book btw) or improving by 1% each day. This approach takes the focus off of the end game and places it on the process of improvement.
Athletes who appreciate and understand the process of improvement will make the daily deposits of improvement that will lead to their long term success in their sport.
These athletes will look back on years of training in the weight room and realize how far they have come in their journey and still be excited about how far they have to go.
There are no shortcuts to reaching your potential, no overnight successes there is just continual improvement day in and day out that leads to greatness.
Did you get 1% better today?!?
