Champions never rest!

I've seen about everything in my 20 years of training.  One thing has always held true:  Champions never rest.   While the average person will not go workout if they have a tummy ache, the champion will fight through all adversity to keep training.  Because the champion knows that someone out there is training hard every day to beat them.  Maybe your goal isn't to be the best in the world but if you want to be the best that you can be then you can't take any days off.  In this pansy world, the lazy/weak people want to convince you that its ok to not be your best and being average is OK.  But those people are just trying to drag you down so that your dedication and effort doesn't expose them as the lazy/weak people that they are.  After all if everyone becomes a pansy then the the toughest pansy gets to feel great about being lazy and weak.   Weakness is not a physical state but a mental one.  Many people do not have the genetics to be the strongest person in the world but they can be tough and train hard to be the best they can be everyday.  Don't let the mass media and societal pressure to not be tough and driven stop you from being a champion.  Dedicated people are now called "obsessed" and the "tough" are called crazy but one thing that will never change is that if you stay dedicated and tough you will also be called a champion, and that is one word I will always be good with.
