Your Inner Voice

Your "inner voice" MUST hold more sway when you are in the midst of pushing yourself than the voices from other people such as trainers, mentors, parents, etc.  The commitment to the extra degree of effort MUST come from you.  The internal conversation going on in your head is judge and jury on how you perform when no one else is watching.  Don't let someone else have higher expectations of you than you.  Jason Caras
