Episode 111 - Do You Really Mean It? - a podcast by Charles J. Infurna, EdD

In this episode of the Forza Athletics Life and Coaching podcast I share some thoughts about tolerance.  The tolerance I'm referring to is the tolerance athletes have towards themselves and their goals.  I believe that some, not most, but some athletes don't always put 100% into whatever they say they want to accomplish.  I think some athletes give 90%.  Maybe 85%.  But not always 100%.  I believe this because it gives athletes an out if they don't accomplish what they wanted to accomplish.  If they fail to reach their goal(s) they have a built in mechanism in place to possibly make themselves feel better about the fact that they didn't reach their aspiration.  

My questions to you are: if you say you are committed to accomplishing a goal, why wouldn't you put forth the necessary effort in accomplishing said goal?  What is it about life that would derail you from achieving that feat?
