Hi Skaters,
With the confirmation 5 Italian skaters will contest the 1st Asianic Inline Cup races,its time to bring on a bit of the Motivational & head space skater training.

DO YOU WANT TO BECOME A WORLD CHAMPION - BEGGSPORT CHECKLIST
1/ The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary.
2/ Get the dictionary, cut out the Words Impossible & Can't, as you can achieve whatever
YOU desire.
3/ Realism, "If its going to be, its up to me", yes thats right its you! It does not matter if
your coach is Mandrake the Magican, Superman or Billy Begg,unless YOU, YOU, YOU,
want it hard enough or desperately enough, nothing will ever happen.
4/ Do you have the Desire & Belief in your sport & those around you to be the worlds best,
but while believing in others, most importantly of all, you must believe in yourself.
5/ Can you be Consistant & Persistant??????, Consistancy to train the body & mind regularly
& put in the required effort each time. Persistant one or two bad days or bad results don't
stop you dead in your Tracks, you carry on in spite off.
6/ Are you familiar with the two " A's, Attitude - The correct one without carrying past baggage.
Arse - You have to get off it & away from that sport Destroyer screen of TV & video games.
All right for a bit of R & R, now & again, but not an obsession.
7/ Now are you in the Ballpark????? having understood numbers 1 to 6.
WEll are you prepared to live like a "Stotan", for a period of time? well what is a stotan you
may well ask, the likes of a greats Lovelock, Halberg, Snell & Walker, I am sure would know.
Its a term derived from two words, Stoic's the ancient Grecians who ignored Pain & Pleasure
equally, combined with the Spartan's, who whittled life down to the practice of their skills,
with no comforts.
8/ If you are still with us & Fully understand the above & can face up to the Beggsport 21
Golden D's., you could be well on the way.
DO YOU HAVE ? - Desire, Determination, Drive, Direction, Diligence, Devotion, Discipline.
ARE YOU ? - Daring, Durable, Dynamic, Deceptive, Desperate, Decisive, Dangerous.
CAN YOU ? - Dream, Dominate, Develope, Devastate, Demolish, Dazzle, Defend.
9/ Do you understand? life is like the Ocean Waves, it goes up & down, but ride the up &
downs long enough, there is always a bigger one comes along, that carries you further.
That Pain is 3 dimensional, Financial, Emotional & Physical, in your Journey to the top you
are likely to encounter all 3 forms.
In life its not what happens to us, its how we react what happens to us that counts most.
10/ Still Interested, congratulations you are one in 500 people, who think they meet the above
requirements, now if you want to be one in 50,000 that can, please phone or email me!
