One time I listened to a book called, Living With A SEAL. There’s tons of interesting stories about how those 31 days went down, when a CEO of several large companies had a Navy SEAL move in with him for a month, so I suggest you read the book, it’s a bit crazy.
But one of the things that stuck out with me was something that SEAL said in the book to the author. He said, when you think you’re finished you’re really only 40% done, that’s your body trying to protect you. That really hit home with me. One of the things we taught in the boot camp is, ‘I say when I quit, not my body.’ It’s along the same lines. The point is there’s almost always more left in the tank.
So many times I’ve seen members wanting to quit early in a workout. I encouraged one particular member who wanted to quit early and told her she could do it, and while shaking her head no, she completed the workout, and did fantastic. You see, your mind will always tell you to quit way before you need to, that’s why you pay us to coach you.
Believe me, we would never do anything to intentionally hurt you, but we will help you do the things you think you can’t do on your own. That’s what coaches do. We will never make you do anything that you can’t do, but if you trust us, and believe in yourself, you’ll accomplish great things.
