Frustration... Back on the rise.

You get to a stage when your at a breaking point. I am at the stage now. I am getting so stressed out with two jobs and going to school full time and on top of that working out. It's just really hard right now. One thing that is motivating me is the thought of college football. I think of me tackling people and the hard practices that will come. I also write on note cards, "Think College Football" That's what is pushing me forward. I have slowed down on my running. My training has just slowed down completely.
I just have to get back into the groove of training. I just have to want it more. I really want it though... I don't know why I'm not fighting for it as hard as I use too. Maybe because the high school regular season is over. Friday night i went to my old high school and was watching the last game. Players told me to suit up and get on the field i said just give me a pair of cleats and a mouth guard and Ill go just like this. That gave me some motivation. At the end of the game my high school coach came up and told me he was going to contact the the school that i want to go to. I just smiled and said thanks so much. That's when I told myself, "I have to accomplish this." My boss is now hounding me, and telling me that I can't give my dream up. She said never give up. Don't stop fighting...

  1. hey listen to the boss. dont give upon your dream. if you want something you have to work for it. if that means giving up a night of watching television than do it. i know you can do it ,so instead of sleeping in late go running or do some excersise. we know you can do it. good luck be safe

  2. I'm not surprising your motivation is declining. I would think it would be really hard to stay motivated all by yourself and for something pretty far away. Is there some workout group you could join? At a gym maybe? or some guys from the TC Wolves? or some of your old high school friends? or even some former players from around here who want to stay in shape? I wonder if you asked some of the TC coaches if they could help you in hooking up with some other guys who are similarly motivated. It might be worth asking. I could give you some email addresses, if you want.
