RX for Resilience: Compete
No matter how you like to challenge yourself, competition is a great way to go to your personal edge. We are seeing some of the most accomplished and fearless athletes in the world gather in France right now on the global stage as an inspiration to us all.
The real heroes at this year’s Olympics are those who, whether they win a medal or not, are there fairly and squarely, without drugs, without any kind of crutch or aid. Those who compete to win— in sports and in life— can measure their success first and foremost against their own definition of what their personal best is, internally first and externally second.
Success is never final, failure is never fatal and it is courage that counts.
— John Wooden, UCLA Basketball Most Winning Coach from 1948-1975
