The Olympics are in full swing and is typical I don’t pay much attention to most of the Olympic sports except for a brief time every 4 years when the Olympics are held and I get sucked into the coverage.   It’s striking to consider that most of these athletes train for the majority of their lives to compete in a single event on a single day. The word that came to my mind as I was watching the coverage last night was perseverance.  It reminded me of the famous Usain Bolt quote. “ I trained 4 years to run 9 seconds, and people give up when they don’t see results in 2 months.”   Much like the book “The Art of War”, if you were to summarize the message into one sentence it’s that, every battle is won or lost before it’s fought. It’s the preparation and work on the front end that has the greatest impact on the outcome.
