Coach has taught us a lot of things.
He's shown us proper technique.
He's shown us breathing techniques.
He's shown us how to train.
He's introduced us to world champions.
He's encouraged us when we thought we weren't progressing.
He's shown us that failure is an opportunity to learn.
He's advised us on how we should compete.
He's made the pain seem like fun.
He has selflessly promoted the sport we have all come to love.
He's made some of us into World Class athletes.
But there's something that the coach didn't show us. We compete with the tools that he has given us. But the coach never showed us how to lose. He's never shown us how to accept second best. He's never shown us how to give up.
We're on the last spell of our training. All that we can do and all that Coach has given us, we've done. On May 19th & 20th we complete. We compete for the club, we compete for the coach and we compete for ourselves.
Wexford Kettlebell Club...let's go make some noise!!
