Transcript

Today, I am getting the opportunity to train with an amazing coach. Like every day, there is a good chance of rain, so if I do end up training later, I will review my screenplay when I go on. I will train with as much intensity as possible today. I will use gratitude to motivate this. I have an opportunity that 99% of kids couldn't have.

I have an obligation to my parents, my coaches, and my future self to push myself. I am lucky that the largest struggles I have are playing a sport that I love. I owe it to everyone to make the most out of this opportunity and give my full effort every day.

My coaching voice will remind me that the only way to become a great fighter is to choose to keep pushing in tough times. This is the way I will get stronger and more mentally tough.
