Two Options...

This, I thought, was one of the most profound things that was uttered during my weekend in Toronto at the AKC Certification.  There was an AKC Coach there who was about to attempt the Master of Sport ranking in the Long Cycle.  AKC Head Coach Valerie Fedorenko proceeded to say something like,

"Maybe you will be Master of Sport Today.  Maybe not.  Two options..."

I thought it was at once hilarious and profound.  With a couple words - Two options - he managed to distill all the fears, insecurities, doubts, hopes and expectations that surround performance of any kind.  In the end, today there are only two options.  You will make it or you won't.  Don't worry about it.  Tomorrow is another day and another shot.  If you don't make it today, chances are you aren't ready.  If you do...

Two Options.
