It!!!!

In athletics, as well as every aspect of life where success is measured in some way, the "It Factor" comes up often.  That person has "It".  What is "It"?  It is a very tangible thing.  It is not something that you are necessarily born with or require great wealth to acquire.  It allows us to focus our energy on what we desire to accomplish and does not cause us to waste time on meaningless and invaluable garbage.  It helps us to focus on others and not ourselves, which then maximizes our own success.  It is invaluable but costs absolutely nothing, other than the ability to trust and believe.  "It" is simply this ... self-confidence.  When we have high degrees of self-confidence, success is limitless.

“If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.” –Thomas Edison

“Anyone who ever gave you confidence, you owe them a lot.” –Truman Capote

“It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.” –Edmund Hillary
