Athlete: Coach, I feel stuck. I’ve been training for weeks and I don’t see any real improvement. What am I doing wrong?
Coach: Probably nothing. You're just in the middle.
Athlete: The middle?
Coach: The part where progress feels invisible. Where work piles up, but results stay quiet.
Athlete: So what do I do?
Coach: Keep going.
Athlete: That’s it?
Coach: That’s everything. Most people quit in the middle not because it’s hard, but because it’s quiet.
Athlete: But what if I never see progress?
Coach: You will. But not when you expect it. The body adapts slowly. The mind even slower. Think of it like water dripping on stone it looks like nothing, until one day, there's a groove.
Athlete: It just feels like I’m spinning my wheels.
Coach: That’s how every champion feels right before the breakthrough. Every run, every set, every choice it compounds. Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not working.
Athlete: So I just trust the process?
Coach: Trust yourself. Consistency is the real miracle. Anyone can show up once. Few show up daily.
Athlete: What if I don’t have what it takes?
Coach: You don’t have to have it. You build it run by run, day by day.
