Blog #6

So far, IQuest has been a blessing. I have been doing my workouts consistently based on my Arizona protocols. I have also been reading my Russian Psychology which has been a huge part of my quest. I do my workouts mostly in my home because I have the specific equipment I need for the workouts. I also use Flex, which is a gym located in downtown Danville where my mentor works. My mentor has been involved with my family for a long time. He started to train my dad in the early 90s. He is a personal trainer who also trained me a few years ago. My workouts have been increased to a athletic expert and I now use his gym as a place to train performing my program. This training has been the best thing to happen to me and IQuest has helped me make the most out of my time. I believe I wouldn't be as successful in my sports without IQuest. I have so much other activities including homework, practice, college activities and other miscellaneous activities to do and IQuest allows me to focus on my athletics. I'm doing this because I want to dominate college football and play in the NFL. It is an insane process that I am taking on head on. I'm excited for this journey.

The positives have been basically everything. It is great being able to go home to prioritize my favorite activities and not have to take pointless classes that would limit my potential. The blogs are chill and not too hard because they are every other week and they are on topics that are interesting and fun to write about. There have been no disappointments. I was unsure about the expectations for the first quarter proof of our goals so I messed that up but now I know for quarter two. Can't wait for the rest of the year.

Through my Russian book, I have learned a lot about myself.  The only reason I have had time to read that book is because of IQuest. This book is about the experiences of a Soviet philosopher that helped over a hundred athletes start at ground zero and work to be Olympic gold medalists. The experiences and stories really help you learn from others mistakes. I have learned a lot about my mental strength from my workouts with my Arizona trainers. They push you to a new level using a modality that makes you question why you're doing the training but in the end, makes you feel proud of what you accomplished and makes you stronger for your sport. I have learned so much including about the mental strength of the best athletes. It is a new level that Americans have no idea can be reached. I want to reach it.
