FROM THE EDITOR What a month of sporting success we’ve just enjoyed – with the nation on the edge of their (early morning) seats, watching our newest sporting heroes race to America’s Cup victory. Then there’s our awesome rowing success at the Henley Royal Regatta with the New Zealand elite team scooping five trophies from six events. Even more remarkable is the fact this comes hot on the heels of dominating at the World Rowing Cup II in Poland, where they took five golds and one silver – as well as two new world best times and one world cup best time. Oh, and this was their first international event of the <strong>2017</strong> season. This is all amazing stuff. Whether you’re achieving at club or regional level, at national or international level, there’s a drive and commitment that’s necessary to success. But mostly it’s just sheer hard work. And that’s something our Kiwi athletes have in spades. While we love to celebrate and champion our sporting heroes, it’s also important to acknowledge our own progress. When you’re lapped in the pool or on the track, or see the person beside you lifting heavier weights – don’t feel deterred. Your journey is not their journey. Instead hero their achievements, and at the same time; hero yours. We all operate at different levels, with personal challenges and history. So set your focus on your own goals – whether it’s walking around the block or standing on the podium with gold.
