This is very helpful. weather ready or not when you get on the blocks everybody is equal. everything sets to zero. its about how much you can put out what you been doing and to do that you must beleive. this will do that. everyone has there what ifs…but this wont give you time for that if you do it over and over. its like mental block in a good way.
