The Competitor...

On the wall in my hallway, sits a reminder of my competitive spirit. It's the first thing I see each time I walk in the front door at home.

There is no tougher race than the race against oneself. Other competitors and times matter not in the finish. The race against and, ultimately,  for oneself is the race we all strive to win. And only through trusting oneself to test one's limits, and having the courage to succeed can we all be winners...compete well my friend(s).


I wrote this in 1993 and dedicated it to the best coach I ever had...Dr Ron Brinkkert.
