I find that many people assume that if they train five to six days a week, they inherently possess a high degree of discipline. As a coach who has worked with a broad range of clients over the years, I would argue that this is not always the case.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fitness Studio;<\/li>\n<li>Coaches;<\/li>\n<li>Personal Training;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2252 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ld-wp73.template-help.com\/wordpress\/prod_14769\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/home-11-gal-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1165\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ld-wp73.template-help.com\/wordpress\/prod_14769\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/home-11-gal-4.jpg 1165w, https:\/\/ld-wp73.template-help.com\/wordpress\/prod_14769\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/home-11-gal-4-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ld-wp73.template-help.com\/wordpress\/prod_14769\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/home-11-gal-4-768x562.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ld-wp73.template-help.com\/wordpress\/prod_14769\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/home-11-gal-4-1024x750.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ld-wp73.template-help.com\/wordpress\/prod_14769\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/home-11-gal-4-560x410.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1165px) 100vw, 1165px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>For the busy parent with a career to build<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong. For the busy parent with a career to build, making it into the gym a few times a week and creating positive lifestyle changes certainly requires some discipline. There needs to be discipline with scheduling, time management, nutrition, forming new habits, and overcoming any internal psychological resistance to make it into the gym for a workout.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSimply put, self-discipline is your ability to get yourself to do what\u2019s necessary even when you don\u2019t feel like doing it.\u201d<cite>Rick Hayes<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, for many competitive athletes, discipline may not take the same form. Take, for example, the aspiring competitor who practically lives at the gym. They train nearly every day for hours at a time because they love to train\u2026NOT because they have to exercise discipline and self-control. Unlike someone who is struggling to make a habit of exercising regularly, there\u2019s little to no internal resistance for the athlete to overcome with regard to showing up in the gym, throwing some weight around, and completing a training session with their friends and coaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Does Discipline Look Like?
