Fitness Journal October 2016

From the editor
Be an inspiration
COMPETITION CORNER
The word inspiration has been
bandied about alot lately. Between
the success of our Olympic and
Paralympic athletes, it has been
a roller coaster few months of
career defining moments. And yes,
occasionally there has been some
criticism in the media towards the
over-use of the word inspiration.
But inspiration is all about personal
interpretation. And let's face it,
every single athlete competing
at these two global events have
inspired on some level.
Setting a new world record is
not necessarily all it takes to
inspire. Most of us are touched
by a personal connection with an
athlete's story, and often the part of
that story which resonates most is
their struggle. We can all relate to
struggling - and taking inspiration
from someone else's struggle is
surely the greatest inspiration of all.
So when times get tough (and
they do, even if you're the best
in the world at your sport) - take
a moment to realise that it is the
periods of struggle which often
result in the greatest achievement.
It's all part of the journey.
As well as being inspired (yes, that
word again) by the athletes at Rio
lately, there is a realisation that no
matter whether you are at the top
of your game or just starting out,
it is the person you are which is
the most impressive of all. Look
at some of the heroes we have
discovered recently; Liam Malone
and Eliza McCartney are shining
examples - both for their sporting
prowess, but also for sharing their
genuine personalities.
So while you are striving to achieve,
remember the personal attributes
which make you unique and
celebrate those also.
