Grind until you're great
Grind and shine!
I can not begin to tell you how happy and excited I am for my son, Cole Bullock, who was named SEC Cross Country freshman of the year this past week!
Here’s the quick back-story...
Cole was the local standout throughout high school. It was normal for him to wake at 5 am for the first of two daily workouts.
Day after grinding day.
And it paid off. He was awarded a running scholarship for Ole Miss — one of the top long-distance teams in the nation!
Whether it was burn-out, him getting caught up in his head, or leaving all his family and friends for the first time — or a combo of them all — he didn’t show up this past August ready to rock the cross country season.
All those years and the countless long-distance runs and he still had more work to do. More grinding.
Cole was benched until he could prove to his coach otherwise. This meant that he had to run unattached and pay his own way (accommodations, race fees, travel and food). Twice.
But the second race paid off! He shaved off a full minute from his previous PR and the coach rewarded him by adding him to the SEC Cross Country Championship roster.
We were blown away watching him this past Friday as he crossed the finish line taking 9th!
He was instrumental in helping Ole Miss win the SEC championship!
Turns out the team’s hashtag this season is #onemore.
One more workout. One more grind. One more healthy meal. One more lap. One more push. One more doing it when you don’t feel like it.
Are you in the middle of what seems like a never-ending grind with your job search? Staying consistent with your healthy habit? Saving money? Shaving time off your 5K?
Keep grinding. Keep showing up day after day knowing that when you do #onemore it will move you forward. It will pay off. You will WIN.
Where are you with your #onemore mentality? If you need accountability to own your grind and to gain clarity and focus on your next amazing level of life, reach out to me and let’s set up a convo. This is what I’m great at helping my clients achieve.
