100%

Why give less that 100% in anything that you do?  Why show up to train and go through the motions?  You're not going to get anything out of that, or very little at most.  I tell our athletes, kids, and clients all the time, if you train at 50%, then that's what you'll compete at, and you're only going to get better at going half-speed, not full speed.  In essence, you'll only get 50% better.  Then I tell them that if they get a job, and give anything less than 100% what happens?  They'll be fired for not doing their job.  Start practicing GREAT, not good or poor habits now so that 100% is programmed into you for the rest of your life in anything that you do:  whether an athletic event, taking an exam, putting together a proposal, training, etc.  Give everything that you have and then some to reap the benefits of anything that you're doing.  You'll be able to look at yourself in the mirror, and know that you gave everything you had with no regrets.  If you give less than 100% you'll have regrets and you'll always wonder, what if i would have given 100% effort in what I was doing at that time?  Where would I be now?  Have no regrets, give 100% at everything you do, and you won't!
