This week coincides with a lot of measurements i normally take for the month of january in terms of individual progress.
Most have been pretty good, some outstanding and a minority not up to the usual standard.
There are reasons why people get different measurements, and the truth always comes out when explaining each one.
The bottom line is when you are measured every month or thereabouts, you automatically make yourself accountable, and this is usually when lifestyle habits are examined in detail.
Unless you take this approach, then progress can be regarded as a matter of luck rather than intention.
Intention is a big word because if your intent is always there, then your lifestyle habits will always be good most of the time. If you have no goals then there is little or no intent, and there is no pressure on you eating well, training well and keeping alcohol to a minimum.
Most if not all the welsh players in the game against ireland, have been full of intention for a long time now in advancing themselves as a creditable force on the world stage, in rugby terms.
In their case, it has meant increased commitment in training, getting more out of themselves than they ever thought.
In eating terms, they have had to be even more meticulous in the preparation and timing of each meal and snack. Eating to perform at your best in sports is a big industry and nothing would have been left to chance in this vital area.
Most of the time too, you will not get these players getting trashed on alcohol every week after a game. A lot of players don’t drink so much now, and some do not even drink at all!
These players are much more professional in their outlook, their intention and delivery of performance these days.
They get measured constantly too, and this helps a great deal with their power of intention, a much undervalued way of getting the very best out of yourself at all times!
Make yourself accountable and start coming on at a much faster rate!!1
