Being Thankful
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Thanksgiving is our favorite time of year because we have so much to be Thankful for! Indeed, there have been no shortage of challenges to overcome lately, but the blessings in our lives certainly outnumber the setbacks, and make our accomplishments that much sweeter! Let us pause for a moment and Give Thanks for accomplishments this past season.
Reason to be Thankful #1 - You body’s amazing ability to adapt to the training workload! For all of you who “paid the price” in blood, sweat and tears this year, take inventory of your health/fitness gains. Many of you are experiencing a new body and fitness level you never thought possible (or never thought you would see again). We are we grateful that you trusted us and endured those tough workouts. You emerged stronger, uninjured and ready for more!
Reason to be Thankful #2 - Your mental toughness gains and self-confidence boost extends to every other area of your life. EFC athletes are never arrogant, but have a renewed confidence that they know what they are doing, where they are going, and can accomplish many great things.
Reason to be Thankful #3 - Our productivity and efficiency is perpetually improving. One thing is assured in a downturn economy - we are forced to adapt and improve our operations because of the increased competition. EFC athletes are better prepared for the unknown and sometimes turbulent conditions. What we do to prepare for, and accomplish in athletic competition is aptly considered a microcosm of life in the real world. Sure we all have different finish time goals, but we all compete for the same heath, wealth and quality of life objectives.
Reason to be Thankful #4 - We have so much to look forward to! Most of us are already re-tooling for next season and have so many things to accomplish. Hopefully, you sense the possibilities and tremor with excitement and eagerness to embark on the adventure ahead. Turn your dreams into reality! The possibilities are as broad as the sky is wide!
Coach Kelly and I are so Blessed to be even a tiny part of your journey! We especially would like to thank our athletes, our families and our friends with your hopes and dreams, and allowing us to celebrate this Thanksgiving with you! Thanks be to God, and may He continue to bless us in the upcoming season!
-Coach Rob
