Keri McKibbin Personal Training

I encourage you to always have the mindset of an underdog. The underdog is always written off, the one people don’t think will amount to much, but I have news for you.

ALL champions TRAIN with the underdog mentality, there is no test in the world when you can split the heart of a champion up and see what’s really there because it’s all in their mind and it’s all in their heart, at the same time, you need heart to show up to the gym all the time, you need a great mindset to come in and try new challenges all the time and not settle for the same thing that “everyone does”..

Underdogs will train with a ferocity that someone who is complacent will never have. Complacency never got anyone anywhere I’ve ever seen.

The ferocity over time will always bring outstanding results, and will leave those who have a more complacent attitude far behind in how far they will travel over time.

Embrace the underdog mentality, I personally love being in this state of mind constantly and always looking to prove everyone wrong, adopt it and see your results multiply several times.

We all pretend we don’t have them but when we think about it in our lives, the reality is we all have adversaries. 

We have plenty people in our circle who wish us the best, but there will always be a couple or a few people who don’t want the best for us, they may even work against us and it’s often done silently.

They will often want us to fail, to not succeed, to not be very fit and healthy, to not be getting faster, so well balanced or they may even wish we quit the gym altogether (I can assure you this has happened to many people with us).

Next time you are trying to think of a way you can put off your gym visits, imagine your adversary quietly laughing and pleased about it, because you will be moving further away from success, they will LOVE that.

Next time you are thinking of quitting healthy food and getting a load of junk in the house, imagine your adversary lapping that up, being thrilled you have given up on your health.

Next time you are thinking about “settling for mediocrity in life”, not doing your best anymore, not taking care of your life, can’t you just see your adversary thinking they have WON and they have finally “moved ahead of you in life”.

Adversaries are not always bad, they can be GOOD because they make us re-focus, make us work much harder and make us keep our standards very high indeed..
