On and off the field, Sam Acho is all about calling himself and others to excellence. Learn more at http://www.samacho.com. The decision to take one more step, to press forward, to achieve more, to be great, is not merely made once. It's a constant battle that takes place every time your foot plants and lifts off the ground. A battle between our body and the earth- with the pull of gravity's force demanding that we relent. A battle of the mind -- our destiny, our call, our purpose to be our most heroic self against a weaker version of us, which makes excuses and tells us to stop. 'We've run enough,' it tells us. 'It's hot out here,' it tells us. 'What's the difference anyway?', it tells us. There is a battle being waged. And the decision to merely run the extra mile, to swim the extra lap, to play until the whistle blows, to finish the play, is not merely about that single moment. No, with every moment that we press forward rather than relent, we are writing a testimony of defiance. And we are greeted with a new opportunity, an even greater challenge- to take that next step, to claim victory one more time. So when the moment comes, and it will come, when the whistle blows and the game is on the line, we can look back at every "insignificant" rep, every "insignificant" lap and know that we have what it takes, that we can press forward on through all that battles against us. We CAN achieve more because we HAVE achieved more. Great acts are not reserved for the uniquely talented, but for the resolute who are committed to excellence with every step. So keep running. For the way you fight today will not only determine your own destiny, but it will shape the future of the world you inhabit. Your tribe. Your team. Your family. Your future self. There is EVERYTHING to fight for. Let's Freakin' GO!!
