Get comfortable being uncomfortable.⠀

In order to be our absolute best, we cannot stay in our comfort zone, or we will not have the opportunity to grow and stretch. However, it seems to be human nature to seek comfort and to work to not stand out in a crowd.⠀

As a coach, I am constantly asking our athletes to be willing to stretch and be uncomfortable in order to grow. We ask them daily to be willing to fail in order to improve. So, I also have to constantly ask myself if I am also willing to get comfortable being uncomfortable in order to be the best version of myself.⠀

Anyone who knows me personally will quickly recognize that my look in this picture is quite far from my everyday look. Our staff surprised our team a few years ago by showing up to a practice around Halloween with these new looks. At the time, it was merely a way to have fun with them and enjoy their shocked expressions. I now see it as a great illustration and reminder for me of this concept of being comfortable being uncomfortable.⠀

What have you done that stretched you far out of your comfort zone but ultimately led to your growth?
