Rule of Thirds

So my Olympic coach told me after a particularly challenging workout where I could not hit my splits before going to the Rio Olympics, that that was okay. It was the rule of thirds. And he was an Olympian. So I was. You know, I always soaked in everything he said, and I was like, what's. What's the rule of thirds? And he said, when you're chasing a dream or doing anything hard, you're meant to feel good a third of the time. Okay, a third of the time and crappy a third of the time. And if the ratio is roughly in that range, then you're doing fine. So today was the crappy day. Along your dream chasing. And if the ratio's off, like you feel too good all the time or too bad, then you gotta look at if you're fatiguing or not trying hard enough or pushing yourself.
