MOTIVATIONS T E P 1 + 2

B Y : J A M I E B R Y N N H A M I LT O N

1. MATTHEW FRASER• “You don’t train to picture yourself

second place on the podium. Second place sucks.”

From this quote it can be inferred that a lot of Mat’s motivation comes from visualizing himself finishing in first place.

2. MATTIE ROGERS

• "There is no perfect time. No perfect opportunity. No perfect situation. No Perfect moment. You either make it happen, or you don't. You don't wait for it to fall in your lap. You take it.”

Mattie is infamous for her motivational quotes, and something she preaches is a strong work ethic. She gets her motivation from sharing her struggle and uplifting others.

3. KARA WEBB

• “I never wanted to be competitive, I just wanted something to participate in and have some fun.”

Kara is infamous for her upbeat attitude and smile during competition. It can be seen that a method she uses to ease her anxiety is by enforcing the idea that she is there for fun.

4. RICH FRONING

• “I wouldn’t say that God made me win in 2011, but the spirituality of it has helped me be stronger mentally. Physically, you can only go so far, and the rest is mental.”

Rich is the most decorated CrossFit athlete of all time. He is very open in regards to his faith, and gets a lot of motivation from this area of his life.

5. BROOKE ENCE

• “I am going there to have fun, but I’m going there to podium.” 

She is famous for her intense personality, and this quote is indicative of that fiery spirit that makes her such a strong competitor. She is motivated by the will to win – above all else.

6. MORGHAN KING

• "Once you get on that stage, it's definitely business. But you can't hide that smile, you know?”

Similar to the previous athlete (Brooke Ence), Morghan competes because she enjoys what she does… But she knows that come competition time it’s important to be serious and go for gold.

7. JESSICA LUCERO

• “You either get better or you get beat because everyone wants to win.”

Above all, Jessica holds hard work highest. She has been in the sport of olympic style weightlifting since the age of 17, and is now a masters athlete. This history alone clearly represents her always-trying-to-improve mindset.

8. JENNY ARTHUR

• “As a young girl collecting topps cards, never in a million years would I imagine having one of my own.”

This quote, accompanied by an image of the topps card, shows that Jenny has been humble for her entire career. I believe this humble attitude is motivation for her because it always means she is doing this for herself, and no one else.

9. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER• “For me life is continuously being

hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer. ”

Arnold is and was motivated by the desire to always keep improving himself, always keep achieving.

10. KATRIN DAVIDSDOTTIR

• “Full effort is full victory.”

Katrin has successfully been crowned Fittest Woman on Earth 2 years in a row, and she is known for her strong mental game. She gets her motivation from failing, and then always wanting to find ways to bounce back after failure.
