I thought that the title might get people's attention but you'll quickly realize that I am simply passing on a message that was given to me. This poem was placed on my wall by my father when I was in Jr High School. It's still on my wall today and I thought I'd share it with others.
If you think you are beaten you are,
If you think you dare not you don't,
If you'd like to win but think you can't, it's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost.
For out in the world we find success begins with a fellows heart.
It's all in the state of the mind.
The poem was discovered by my father when we were traveling in Europe playing soccer against the Brits. It was posted at the entrance to Grimbsy Football Club, Lincolnshire, on June 30, 1984.

Great message, I've been thinking about this winning thing a lot lately. It's been so long since I've won a race I've forgotten how.
It's so easy to give up at a critical point ... sort of like you witnessed me do at the Bloomsburg crit!
