We often think about grit, determination, and perseverance as characteristics that are attributed to the drive to win. And in many cases this is indeed the case. They come together often and provide a more descriptive way of talking about the will to win. And for so many the will to win is the focus, it is what we think about all the time ….. but maybe, just maybe it might not be where the real difference is made on the THPL journey. Thinking about it for a minute it might actually be in the preparation that winning really happens. Prep focuses more than just on the physical. By its nature it drives a level of mental strength that cannot be developed in ay other way.

Think about it, if you are not ready when the “moment” comes then all of the effort in the world will not be enough. So, then really it is the “will to prepare” that is the difference maker. And when we fully embrace preparation such that we are ready all the time – we are living in “ready” mode and we are there because we brought an intensity and commitment to preparation. And while this sometimes is hard, the returns are great and the results even better.

Loving life when fully prepared
