Motivation: Pick it up and use it!

Small blog on my weekend experience:

Whether it's finding the drive to wake up early to exercise, pushing myself to complete that last rep in the studio or reaching for perfection in my swimming technique, motivation is a key factor needed to achieve all of these actions!

This weekend, I volunteered at the Massachusetts Special Olympic Summer Games. I picked up a large amount of athletic motivation from the incredible athletes who participated! The participating athletes ranged from ages 10 to 60 years of age, and all of them had such a positive outlook and an exponential amount of drive to overcome challenges and succeed in the events they took part of. Where we as volunteers were at the event to cheer and motivate the athletes, I found myself being more inspired and motivated by them! The everyday challenges I face, like the ones I mentioned at the beginning, seem less like challenges and more like an achievable check list! Motivation comes from many places including within, just so happens I had a few great examples to get a "pick me up" from this weekend!
