Motivation...

Sports we can relate too...a little context to the video..(1997) - the British & Irish Lions went to South Africa (the Springboks) - then World Championships.  The game had just turned professional that year (since it was invented up to that point it had been 100% amateur) -  It is a mentally very challenging game - each player must play the full 80 minutes, play attack and defense, it is very physical, combative, tactical and quite technical. You look for athletes and characters that have the ability and character to perform in all of those areas. At the top levels it is a wonderful, mentally demanding sport.

In this video, the coach discusses the difference between a weak player and a strong player...he also talks about mental/physical preparation for the road ahead...I believe we can all listen to what this coach is saying and use it in our approach to the weekly challenges of the CrossFit Open.
