Some people reading this column may ask, "Why don't you write a tip on how to use the front brake more effectively?" or "Tell us about techniques using the clutch, or some other tip that might make us a better rider". Well, that's what motocross schools are for. Learning riding techniques are better 'shown' than 'written'.
What I want to convey this month is some "RULES" of motocross. I won't take credit for inventing these rules, but I know them, teach them, and can certainly pass them on to you.
YOUR BODY DOES NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK. Your thinking has to match what your body
NEEDS.
MIND OVER MATTER WILL NOT OVERCOME A LACK OF PREPARATION. Motocross is a preparation sport. You can't put off the things the
WILL give you success and show up thinking you can WIN.
THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS WHAT YOU DO. "DO" the only thing you have control over. Need I say more?
PREPARATION MUST BE SPECIFIC TO YOUR NEEDS. If you want to win, you must prepare for it.
YOU MUST CREATE EQUILIBRIUM. You must find balance. If you're tired, burned out or not having fun, you are out of balance.
Now that you've read some of the motocross rules, I have included some inspirational quotes that will help you with understanding how important your mindset is and will be.
SUCCESS "Some people dream of success…while others wake up and work hard at it."
ON THE CUTTING EDGE "The best way to predict the future is to create it."
LEAD WITH ACTION "Nothing happens until you make it happen."
ACHIEVEMENT "Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow."
THE NATURE OF LEADERSHIP "You will find true success in those efforts that captivate your heart and soul. Belief fuels passion, and passion rarely fails."
If you can grasp the messages here, you are already half way there. Now DO!
