You have to have an unshatterable confidence in your coach, an unshatterable confidence in your teammates, and an unshatterable confidence in your goals. If you want to be great, you have to bring them to every practice and race.

 Live a ‘Runners Lifestyle.’ Avoid distractions, live disciplined and simply. Break the addictions to comfort, entertainment, mediocrity, and material possessions.

 Eat simple whole foods. Vegetables, fruits, lean protein. No fast, junk, manufactured, or processed foods. Drink lots of water. Consume carbohydrates/protein at a 4:1 ratio within 40 minutes after working out.

 Train year round with appropriate pplanning and recovery periods, sleeping 9 hours a night as a rule. Be serious about fitness 24/7/365

 Train on trails, hills, and grass limiting concrete or asphalt as much as possible.

 Do speedwork and ancillary training year round. Strength training, plyometrics, core, dynamic drills, and cross training are all examples of solid ancillary training.

 Participate and contribute to a true team, not just a collection of runners, who share the values of excellence, encouragement, and a strong work ethic. Be selective in the company you keep that your ‘friends’ practice values not contrary to your own.

 Develop positive, calm, alert mental toughness. Be a soul on fire. Have the courage to go ‘five more minutes’...to ‘ run 60 seconds of a minute.’

 Make adversity your friend. Periodically train in heat, cold, and high winds. Welcome all weather as good. There are no problems, only challenges to make you tougher.

 Transform struggle into confident effort. Be present and pay attention. Be pleased and patient with your performances yet never complacent. Gather fulfillment from your training. Let the benefits, courage, and strength gained radiate out into all areas of your life.

 Be aware of who our friends are for ‘you are who your friends are’. These so called friends may be habits and addictions or even real people that frankly not only don’t support your intentions but hinder them, even contrary to them
