Nine, Six, Nine

9.69 seconds. That was the new world-record time set by Usain Bolt in the 100 meter dash this week at the Olympics. Let me tell you how much that one race just changed an entire sport forever - and how this directly relates to you. First, in sprinting, it's been common knowledge that most elite sprinters are around 5'10" and shorter. That's just the way it's always been. If you were taller, you would usually do a different event like the hurdles or high jump. But Usain is 6'5" - he literally dwarfs all the other sprinters. And yet, he just shattered the world record. Now, I can bet you all coaches will look at athletes differently for sprinting. Think about how this relates to life. We are always put into a certain mold. We are conditioned at an early age to believe certain myths as "truths". If your parents were fat, you will be fat. You should just look for a job with good benefits to be "secure". Listen to your voice deep down in your soul. NEVER let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do. There really are no limits.
