If you feel anxiety or depression, you are not in the present. You are either anxiously projecting the future or depressed and stuck in the past. The only thing you have any control over is the present moment; simple breathing exercises can make us calm and present instantly.

In my experience, stress is the cause of all injury and pain.

Almost all accidents and injuries happen when an individual is not being present and not paying attention to what they are doing.

Champions realise that defeat - and learning from it even more than from winning - is part of the path to mastery.

I believe in not trying to control things that are out of my control or none of my business.

Triumphs are usually the outcomes of countless learned-from 'failures

In business, sport, entertainment and beyond an idea is worth next to nothing. The energy, effort, passion, talent, tenacity, strategy, resilience and resourcefulness to see it through and make something of it is worth everything.

Sometimes you learn, grow and give far more when your back's against the wall.

No wrong in aiming or applauding the win but always agnize one's efforts.

Learn like an amateur. Train like a champion. Fight like a warrior. Triumph like a conqueror.

When you feel that others are lacking and failing ....first assess the skill, style, quality, results, mindset, support, professionalism and spirit with which you yourself play the game.

Sports has no bounds, no race, no religion, no caste and no creed. Keep out all this from sports. Sports are pure joy, do not ruin with your ignorance

The secret of winning any prize is knowing that your own treasure and potential is equal to it... and worthy of it.

Shatter your fears and you will shatter records.

Step up your game and success will step up to you.

If records refuse to be broken, shatter them.

Showing up begins long before you stand at the start. Prove yourself an exception in a world where people talk more than act. Intent without follow-through is hollow. Disappoint yourself enough times and empty is how you feel. Make yourself proud. Fill yourself up. Show up.

Life is game. Never fear to play the game.

As your training integrates Mind, Body and Spirit, enjoy the process. Your journey to the marathon finish will last a few hours. Your journey to the start will influence a lifetime.

You can reach maximum performance by engaging in physical activities.

In a world full of game players, the only way to set yourself apart is to be a game changer.

It takes more than one individual to make a team.

Sport should be in your Blood/Veins, Not in the Joints or Bones

Rarely has a new player on the game captured so much attention so fast.

Virtually every tribe in the march towards civilization developed its tailored made initiation practices. In America, sports are part of the test for a young man’s initiation into manhood.

Opportunity to suspend disbelief is often why we watch movies. The stories and images touch us and shift perspectives in ways we may not allow in our daily lives. As readily as you check your “this isn’t real” attitude at the ticket counter – when transformers are defending earth against aliens and 21st century vampires frolic by daylight – on the big screen of your heart and mind train for, run and celebrate finishing your first marathon.
