Anyone have any good quotes that help them stay motivated, or get pumped up for vaulting?

:star: Before I vault, I tell myself "Just do it." I know it is sometimes overused, but I LOVE that saying. :D

"to give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift"

Both of these are from Prefontaine. Go Pre. :star:

I'm a little negative sometimes, I'll either start calling myself names and then prove myself wrong, or sometimes I need to quit thinking about it so much so I start singing 80's songs

here is a quote from one of my high school coaches, Erich Momberger--Olympic Decathalete.

As the Ancients Anxiously await
For a champion to Harken in Haste
Atop the Mount ablaze
The voice of Fevs Sonates
"whosoever will, let them come."

Erich engraved this poem on a piece of glass when I graduated. It is one of my most prized possesions, and I look to it whenever things go bad. very sentimental issue for me......sob sob.....Erich was a huge motivating force for me in HS. He and his wife now live in his home country of Papua New Guniea.

just tell yourself "Fear is NOT an option!" (if you are feeling a little nervouse). i try and have my friends tell me jokes to keep me loose/ not too focused on what i have to do next, otherwise i get nervouse.

What "fear is not an option" that is the gayest thing I have heard all day... it is "No is not an option"
