Guard Training With Soreness.

Squash ball, 1999. (squash ball)

An athlete is confident that what they hope for grows in training.

Athletes do difficult things so much it becomes easy, participants do easy things so much they’re just burning calories.

The match is mostly understood looking back at it, but the athlete visualises it looking forwards.

Athletes do not need freedom of speech, they need freedom of movement.

An anxious athlete has too many choices.

Participants understand athleticism so poorly, that they do not even understand that only playing the sport is not athleticism in any sense of the word.

Squash is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

The despairing athlete is not being whom they are.

An athletes most painful state is when…

Henry, David and Thor Have a Chat about Athleticism.

facade of a white mosque

Most athletes lead lives of quiet determination and complete their athletic careers with the flow still in them.

After a loss we understand more of ourselves.

Too much caffeine over stimulates, too much alcohol over depresses, too much water and the stomach explodes. Optimise ones consumption.

Be curious of loved ones, less suspiciously. Be suspicious of opponents, less curiously.

The cost of everything is time.

The two most emotional steps on any journey are the first and the last. When you can start a habit, discover how you can stop that habit.

Define success clearly and you will achieve it.

Sayings of Sport : Stoic Athleticism.

FeaturedHurricane Irma

Dedicated to an old and stoic friend, Tim Rowbottom.

Athletes are not disturbed by competition, but by their viewpoint about the competition.

A gym, sports ground, or recreation centre is not adorned by trophies or pennants, but by the virtue of those whom move humanely within it.

They who exercise wisely, exercise optimally.

To be uneducated is to experience misfortune. To begin ones education is to make the attempt. To be accepting of oneself and others shows that ones education is Complete.
