All-around leader series #5: 400 meter sprint

from The Charlie Grimes Podcast · host Charles R Grimes

One of the great paradoxes of life is that self-awareness breeds anxiety. - Author: Irvin D. Yalom Do you know yourself well enough to handle challenges without burning out?  Do you shy away from difficult problems and conflict? 400 meters is approximately ¼ of a mile. A single lap around a standard outdoor track. The 400m is actually too far to run at maximum speed.  You can’t actually run the whole distance as fast as you can.  In fact, if you’ve ever run this distance, you know exactly what I’m talking about. I’ve watched far too many innocent novices run the first 200-300 meters of the race like a “bat out of h_ll” only to crumple into an oozing pile of lactic acid, crawling home in the last 100m. The 400 meter sprint is an event that has taught many people about themselves; how much they can handle, and what their mental and physical limits are! Join Coach Grimes here to discuss the two critical life lessons that this "long sprint" can teach us.
