(Video) - Make Sure You Are Preparing For The Right Race

Understand this: The race that God has for you to run that will transport you from where you are now and take you where you desire to go is not a 100-meter dash.

🏀A college player I mentor (we will call him Devin) was in the lab all summer working on his game, eating right, lifting weights, running hills. He was doing all the things!

 🏀Because Devin worked as hard as he could the entire summer, he was prepared for instant success once he went back to school this fall to practice with his team.

🏀Instead of being the coach's pet and his teammate's favorite weapon, he ran with the back-ups.

 🏀After a few weeks of nothing changing, he was big mad, ready to march into the coach's office and give him a piece of his mind and possibly even quit the team!

🏀Fortunately, Devin called me first, and we successfully shifted his perspective.

🏀I told him that he's frustrated because he was mentally prepared for the wrong race. He prepared all summer for a sprint when the race he running is a marathon!

🏀Could you imagine a world-class track athlete preparing mentally to run the 100-meter dash only to get to the Olympic trails years later to run the 800 or the mile? How do you think the athlete would fare?

🏀Much the same many of us, like Devin, fall short, get frustrated, or quit altogether not because we aren't qualified but because we assumed it was a sprint and not a marathon.

 🏀As you begin your week, take a moment and get mentally prepared for your marathon!

Have a great week!
