    HOW TO ACHIEVE BETTER BALANCE

    HOW TO ACHIEVE BETTER BALANCE

    THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF BALANCING ACTS, and we must master each.  I'll bet you know the secret to one of them.  But, in talking with a local racer struggling with balance, I was prompted to remind him ...

    ... nobody gives a shift if you win a bike race.

    I'm his coach, and he was expressing his frustration with balancing career, family and wanting to win every race.  He is in the unusual position of actually being able to win many races if he puts in the time...

    ... he has real physical talents few of us have.

    I get it.

    My race shape waned for many years, the time we had all the kids at home. 

    I kept racing.

    I kept winning.

    Because, I defined winning differently than standing on the top of the podium.  I continue to do that to this day...

    ... winning is knowing I couldn't have done a better job.

    I sent him this quote from my book:  No sporty success can compensate for failure in the home.

    Which brings up the balance you have no doubt mastered.

    On the bike.

    And, the number one secret to that is to keep moving forward.

    Wherein we find the mystical balance to achieve life-long racing success...

    ... keep moving forward.

    Keep posting goals.

    Keep challenging yourself.

    Keep your expectations in line with proper balance...

    ... and remember, the people that love you, love you for you.

    They want your time, not your trinkets.
