Who you are the other 21 hours of the day outside of practice follows you into the competition arena. Athletes are a complex, hybrid identity... small acts of bravery executed outside of practice carry into your ability to call on courage-on-command when you are IN the arena under pressure. You can choose to intentionally practice vulnerability, showing up, and doing things you're scared of everyday, both in practice as well as outside of it. Scroll to see our athletes engaging in intentional practice, pursuing mastery over their craft, getting vulnerable, and the victory that ensues on the other side in celebration #actintoexistence #smallactsofbravery #secretsofadulthood #ncaatrackandfield #ncaadivision1 #ballstateathletics #courage #courageinvulnerability #brenebrown #daregreatly #daringgreatly #practicecourageeveryday #practicebraveryeveryday #practicebraverynotperfection #hownotwhy
