Here we are! At the very thick of the battle. Motivated and ready to give everything… but! Let’s cool down for a second and think.

Good training program always starts with the goal, which is then followed by several questions. Like “Why is this my goal?”, “Is this really what I want?”, “Does this technique suit my physiques?”, “What do I need to get there?” and so on. Misjudgement may cost a few lost years and a handful of broken dreams.

Now come the milestones – your goals for a week, a month, a year. Tracking them and your progress, knowing where you are on your way – is essential. Another great way to avoid going astray is keeping a diary.

Finally, our angels – coaches, mentors, sport parents and friends. Big-time sport is hardly reachable without them. Make sure you are always on the same page, so that they are aware of and follow your goals.

Thumbs up! 😀 Now let’s have some fun and action!
