With the Right Training, you can Do Anything
With the right training, you can do anything you want to do
Training is almost magical in its effects.
- Training can turn an overweight individual into a super-athlete.
- Training can turn a no-hoper into a champion.
- Training can turn a weakling into a strongman.
You are not limited by your apparent constraints
You may feel you don't quite have what it takes to win; you may feel that you are not especially gifted, nor particularly well-endowed. But none of that matters, because training can more than make up for Nature's negligence.
- If nature neglected to give you a head for figures; then training hard on maths will enable you to develop a mathematical mind.
- If nature neglected to give you great legs, then training hard will enable you to develop the legs you need.
- If nature neglected to give you the Gift of the Gab, then training will make you a confident communicator.
- If you don't have the innate intelligence, you can make up for it with knowledge and skills.
The myth of the natural born champion
It is very common and easy to dismiss the achievements of others as the result of natural talent.
What is actually nearer the truth is that these people trained themselves, over years.
Training will make you into whatever you want to be.
Training triggers an adaptive response
The laws of nature say that all life evolves by adapting to the demands placed upon it.
Your mind and body respond to demands by adapting to meet them.
- If you impose a training stress on your muscles, then you get stronger.
- If you impose a training stress on your mind, then you get smarter.
- If you impose a training stress on your skills, then you get more skilled.
Training triggers an adaptive response, and that response is progress.
That is why it is true that with the right training, you can do anything.
