At my very last gymnastics meet, my coach gave my team mates and me each cards that had personal meet goals and special advice from her about gymnastics and to help us through the competition (and life in general). The advice that she gave me in my card has truly stuck because I can apply it to my own life and the meaning of the advice doesn't change.
The advice was "Don't ever let yourself settle for 50%, you are so much better than that! Keep pushing yourself and be tough. If you do that, you will be able to do anything, and I mean anything!"
At the time, my coach was most likely aiming to help me get through my wrist injuries and have a great meet. Now, I use her advice to remind myself to keep trying in everything that I do no matter how hard it is, whether its sports or school, and never settling for less.
