I recently read a story in the “Florida Alligator” that made me think of PTF. Those initials are what I thought about using for my business name, when I started years ago. They stand for Patience, Trust and Flexibility.
The story is about a track athlete who came to the Florida team as a high level recruit and did well her first 4 meets. However, her Coach had been trying to get her to change her technique since early in the season and she was very reluctant. She eventually gave in to her Coach and changed her technique. What happened next if where the PTF comes in. She went from finishing in the top 5 to out of the standings in her next 3 track meets. DO you think there was some 2nd guessing going on?
But, then she went on to WIN not just finish in top 5 at her next events, including the SEC Outdoor Championships. Do you think now she is glad she trusted her Coach and had the patience and mental flexibility to endure the change?
Remember, train smart and have PTF in your Coach.
