[QUOTE="Girlrider, post: 575480, member: 19703"] " To succeed, every athlete must learn to deal with mistakes and failures. All champions realize that the path to personal excellence is cluttered with obstacles. Arriving at the top is a process that involves many setbacks. Champions accept this process, understanding that you can't stretch your limits without encountering some rough moments along the way." I realize you were venting but in doing so you are going to get some advice. (And I hope the advice helps) Your first problem was you started the race already accepting that 2 or 3 girls would automatically beat you. WHY??? When I ran track in practice my coach told me that if I got to the starting line and had worked as hard as I could all week doing what he had told me and not slacking then I had every right to be as good as them. And you know what, he was right. The times I slacked I lost. The times I worked hard and believed I could win, I did. No Power is NOT an advantage in motocross. It generally is not in most motor sports. In trials they kept Dougie Lampkin on a 125 until he was 19 or so, so that he would rely on technique and not motor. Sometimes the added torque will make you tired and you spend more time trying to control the power then riding the bike. I rode a GG 280 trials bike last year and the power was way too much. Now I am on a 200 and love it. Please go to www.dongreene.com. On the home page there is a place that you can take a test. Take it and then print it out. It will tell you what areas you need to work on such as disciple, mental quite, focus, determination, etc. . . Then buy the book and read it and be prepared to get better. 8 weeks before the ISDE I broke my collar bone. I could have decided I could not ride but my desire was so strong I rode with it broken and in pain at times. Then I got this book and realized that I could spend a lot of time on mental imagery and that would help me just as much. I never imagined myself at the ISDE in any other day then the final moto on day 6. That is why I am convinced I finished is because my mind had already told my body I could do it. I hope it helps and I hope the next report you post is that you got 1 or 2 places better, and the next you got even better. Let us know. [/QUOTE]
