I figured that it would be a good idea to have a post where everyone could share an experience or moment where they had a great moment lifting dieting or just had a great experience in fitness

sometimes everyone needs that little extra push or some extra motivation to keep on going and i figured they could stop by in here and read and get back on track and keep on going

my motivation right now is looking back at my basketball season and being personally disappointed in my performance. i didn't lift during the season so i stayed thin and lanky instead of actually trying to make myself somewhat of a physical presence either in the 3 or 4 spot. yea, i had a decent season-averaged 3ppg, 3 or 4 assists per game, was one of, if not the best defenders on the team, but i was very disappointed in my lack of consistency in rebounding. i'd have games where i'd grab 12 boards or 4 in just a minute. i'd have times where i'd get the defensive board start the fast break and follow it up with an offensive board and put back. but, there was also times when i didn't have a rebound all game or only had 1 or 2. try having only 1 or 2 rebounds in a game when last year you averaged about 15.

that's my motivation right now. i learned a lot about the game and i learned that right now, i gotta eat right and start working on my finesse skills as i'll probably be trying out for guard next year.

another one of my motivations right now is the game i love- BASEBALL. [img]smile.gif[/img] *smiles and thinks of how anxious he is for practice at 3* (note: it's quarter to six in the morning [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) i know that i can make varsity or at least see some varsity time. now, i'm a perfectionist-if i know i can do something and i don't do it-i'll go crazy. so, right now, i'm working as hard as i can in the weight room, on the field and in the classroom (hey gotta get the work done before you go play [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) so i can work on my current goal.

of course, i'm sure that for every1 here, there's a certain person or even noone in particular that you want to impress. a special some1, coaches, friends, family, etc. so, that's always good motivation [img]tongue.gif[/img]
