Even though we call this an intensive, our expectation is not that you give us 100% every time...or for all my athletes, 110% (no wonder you may have gotten burned out.

​

This may sound hypocritical, but just as the quote asks, would you run your car at 100% all the time. No, you would blow the engine up or, at a minimum, have it in the shop being worked on all the time.

​

This applies to the intensive and your pilot. Yes, we want you to give your best, but the goal is to progressively go at 75% or 80% or whatever your % is over a longer period of time. We don't want you burning yourself out. However, just as your car has a purpose of taking you places, if you don't give any energy to it, you will stay stuck where you are. We aim for a happy medium of rest and growth during this intensive. 

​

So as the motivation says, Would you expect your car's engine to go at 100% all the time? If not, why do we expect this from ourselves?
