On Competition.

There is no better way to motivate your training. Everyone that has ever mailed in an entry fee check will tell you that. There is no better way to keep you interested and make today’s workout different than yesterday’s workout than in the mail this morning your entry fee for the meet in four weeks or four months.

When I was competing, if I did bad it upset me so bad that I had to go back and get stronger so I wouldn’t do that again. And if I did good, it encouraged me. Regardless, competition works.
