WE GO TOGETHER
I heard a quote one time that the smallest of positive impacts can leave a ripple effect of positive change for people around you. In the world we live in today, people are drawn to the ability to push through challenges. To fight through what perceived limits are. To challenge the status quo. It’s an opportunity to inspire. To inspire those that need the lift around you. People everyday struggle from the doubts and anxieties that life throws at us daily. I can raise my hand and be the first person to admit I’ve struggled with the stress that life causes. I understand the feeling of being unbalanced. Dazed like a boxer in the twelfth round. Doubt begins to creep in, and you begin to question your every move. It’s a scary feeling, but it’s what has encouraged me to be the positive light for those around me. It’s what’s motivated me to train for something bigger than myself.
Everyday the clock turns on at 5:30AM. I wake up excited to push my limits. Training for me isn’t an opportunity to check a box for success, but to once again remind myself of the greatness we all hold. It’s not about hitting a new PR or reaching a new race ranking, but about believing in the mantra “anything is possible”. I train for the opportunity to inspire those around me. To show people that we can all achieve anything we put our mind too. This saying has become common, yet, if it is believed deep in your soul, perceived limits will be broken every training session. Everyday is an opportunity. An opportunity to take one step to inspire those around us. Training is not only an opportunity to learn more about yourself, but it is to encourage those to take a step with you. We don’t go alone…. We always go together.
At Team Kona, we all embody the mindset of going together. Whether it’s training, life, or anything in the middle, we support the growth of every single team member. We love the grind. More importantly we want to see those around us grind with us. Push beyond belief. Find your best self-deep in the middle of a mile swim, brick work, or weight training session. In the middle of the pain, in the middle of exhaustion, ask yourself one simple question…. Who am I inspiring today? This is the Team Kona mindset. Once you bring one person up a level, you will begin to go next level. Don’t go alone. Don’t skip a day. Don’t give up. We all go up together.
If you have that goal that you’ve always wanted to reach, take that step with us. Challenge that voice that tells you no. Challenge any doubt or any past situations that have stopped you from taking that step. We are here together, and we believe that one step creates that ripple effect for a life well changed.
Together let’s train and race with a Purpose. This is Team Kona.
