I sometimes would run out too fast in the 1600 meter run. It was this constant reminder that drove the team to win the regional championships that year. Coach Arnold knew a lot about what it takes to win in track and field, but he also wanted to mold us into mentally tough adults. Mental toughness is positive thinking and positive living. This is a constant challenge in life.
Life is full of many obstacles.
A positive mental attitude builds character. We all have been taught to be positive. We all understand it is important. Life is joy, life is problems and life is change. The great thing about problems is they can be solved and give us a chance to activate creative mental energy.
