You need to become obsessed with this 3 letter word to build success as an athlete.

Do you know what it is? 

No, it is not the word rad, or yes.  Good guess, though.

It is the word YET.

Putting these three letters together in this order and tacking it to the end of our sentences opens up a world of possibilities.

"I don't have that trick down YET, but I am figuring it out." "I did not make top 3 YET but I feel I am putting the pieces together to land top podium spots this year." 

It perpetuates hope and gives us permission and encouragement to keep going even after we face setbacks or deal with frustrations. It leaves the end of the story unwritten and the opportunity for growth and achievement in abundance.

When we become obsessed with the word Yet our limiting beliefs come to a screeching halt because when we frame our thoughts up with the word Yet there are no limits only potential.

Yet allows us to evolve past our present selves and opens us up to the possibilities of who we can become in the future.

It celebrates the steps and the process more so than the outcome. It rewards cultivation, determination, and our continued and consistent efforts.

Yet can become one of our most powerful motivators when we are trying to learn or grow as an athlete and as an individual. 

 Yet doesn't fear failure. Instead, it sees obstacles as opportunities and cheers us on from the sideline. Yet encourages us to try new things without ego and helps us builds our self-confidence in the process.

Yet inspires us to remain optimistic, to have patience, and to dream that much bigger. It believes in our potential and our ability to learn how to do things

Change your destiny and your mindset by adding Yet to the end of your sentences and relish in your journey of becoming an incredible athlete and individual who can achieve great things.
