Michael Phelps, one of the best Olympic swimmers, trains more than six hours a day (or about 8 miles a day). Michael trains harder than most people, but not everyone has as much time to train as he does. Most people can barely find the time to work towards their goal, but no matter what, time must be set aside if you want to achieve your goal. No matter where you start your education, with some experience or without, you can still achieve your goal if you put in the effort (Turteltaub 1993). One of the most important questions you should ask yourself, after identifying your goal, is how much physical and mental training is necessary to achieve your goal? Physically training, in some ways, is easier to do. You can set a strict schedule, adapt to different situations more easily, and find ways to make things easier on your body. However, this training will not be easy. Some people see physical training as an attempt to “discover the most graceful method of hanging.” No matter how logical his plans are, he cannot carry them out without physical suffering.” (Bascomb 71) You may be able to find a method to maximize your results while conserving as much energy as possible, but you will still have a lot of pain to endure. Some of this pain will come from having to adapt to new situations. “We must realize that athletics is not, nor can it ever be perfected; there will always be more to learn.” (Bascomb 138) This applies not only to athletics, but to any goal you can imagine. New challenges will arise and you will have to find a way to adapt to that challenge. Some situations can be resolved simply by being consistent with your training. A coach said this... in the middle of the paper... ears... then finally crossing the finish line and reaching that goal, it's difficult to describe for those who haven't been there." (Price 1) Reaching the your goal will give a variety of different emotions, relief, excitement and above all happiness. In the end, all the previous training will come out and you will be able to say that you have successfully achieved your goal. Training for goals can only be beneficial can reach the physical peak, there will never be a point where you can say you have finished training mentally You will always have to adapt to different situations. Some people, like Michael Phelps, train for hours and hours, while one of the things The simplest thing you can do is believe that you can achieve your goal by constantly thinking with the appropriate mindset, then, in a sense, you are training to your full potential.
