So very true. This mindset is so benificial in life. As you wife is calling upon it during a hard time, so can others do the same. I know many people who never played sports, pushed themselves beyond discomfort, or broke through a seemingly impossible situation. This is so unfortunate because that mindset is actualy just a “life perserverance” mindest. It is a beautiful thing.

Coach,

Great article, like Justine, I find myself defending my decisions (nutritional and social) because of the athletic mindset; staying out too late, eating too much, drinking too much. The better I treat myself, the better I run!

I wish you and your wife strength and hope over the course of her treatment. She has the right attitude, she will beat it! You both will be in my thoughts…

I really enjoyed this blog post. The athlete mindset goes far beyond the actual sport we practice. Every time I say no to a party or glass of wine and struggle to defend why….from now I’m going to say I am demonstrating the athlete’s mindset.

I’m sure this mindset will help your wife and you feel strong throughout whatever life hands you. I’ll keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.
