Just go first
Do the thing
Stand proud

#noexcuses,  right?

Then, it got a bit tricky
A moment
A day, even
Where just "doing"
wasn't quite working

So you upped the ante
Doing what you've always done
(It’s never failed you before, right?)

Just swim harder
Push through
More willpower 

Phew!
You escaped the shark again

So you keep free diving
In deeper, broader waters
Because oxygen is for the weak, right?
And you, of anyone
Can hold your breath the longest

But what's tricky -
Now feels uneasy

The shore seems further, the harder you swim
And you're pushing against the very current you used
To get you here

We get it
Because we did it

And while it worked when we were kids, or  teens, or even our early twenties
Life gets bigger
And waves get higher
(Great visions are meant for this)

The spaces where you practiced swimming laps
Don't really compare
To where you're headed now

But, we get that too

It's a hard thing to admit
That the tool you've thrown your life at
just isn't enough anymore
to go the distance

But here's something our coaches know that others don't
Having a 'tool' that's not enough
Isn't the same
as being a person thats not enough

We know this,
because we lived this

And while we cannot control
How rough the waters might get
We can choose
To not risk our greatest visions|
On how long we can hold our breath

We can learn to change our strides
- build skills to swim with our currents, not against them

This is something we teach our girls in the sports model project

Hard work?
It's the minimum prerequisite for entry
But if your tools have passed their used by date

Even the most determined swimmers
Will never make it to shore

Have your tools expired?
