This post came into my reader yesterday. The author has posted their favourite quotes and reasoning for each. You can click on the link to see their reasons but here are the quotes:

“How you train today determines how you perform tomorrow” 

“Attitude is Everything” 

 “Don’t let success get to your head, or failure to your heart” 

 ”The best way to show respect to your fellow athletes is to give the best performance that you can” 

 ”Excellence: you will never find it in your comfort zone” 

 ”Whether you think you can, or think you can’t, you’re right” 

 ”It’s not if you rise. It’s if you rise after the fall that counts” 

 ”Hard work beats talent when talent does not work hard” 

 ”It’s not about winning or losing a competition; it’s about beating the doubt from within yourself and knowing at the end of each day you are one step closer to your goals” 

 ”Wake up every day knowing that today is a new day and only you can determine the outcome of that day. So dream big, accept the challenge, and never look back” 

 I like some of the above quotes. Personally there are four quotes in particular that I adore.

“I don’t run away from a challenge because I am afraid.  Instead, I run toward it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your feet” – Nadia Comaneci

 ”Everyone gets scared, and everyone falls. The key is to get right back up and try again” – Shannon Miller

 “True sport is always a duel, a duel with nature, with one’s own fear, with one’s own fatigue. It is a duel in which the body and mind are strengthened” – Yevgeny Yevtuskenko

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm” – Winston Churchill
