Each training session should be viewed as an opportunity to get better than your opponents, as an opportunity to make your self better than you were before. As an athlete it is important that you create a high performance mindset where you as an athlete try and “win” each session and make it as productive as possible.
I always think of the danish national team as an example, with their very high intensity training program that makes the most of the time they have, as they all have jobs or are in college while training throughout the year.
If you make it your duty to do the best you can each session and to push your self and be constantly trying to learn while in the boat, then your rowing will vastly improve.
So next time you have training, do yourself a favor and “win” it.
