We all know dreams require sacrifice, so, what are you willing to give up to get to your dreams? It’s really about how bad you want it! Do you want it bad enough to put in the sweat blood and tears? It is the mental fortitude that makes the difference between a good athlete and a great athlete. It’s this mental toughness that can push you through your physical limits. This is also the reason why the fastest race course is a course with the loudest spectators. Because they give you this mental boost.

#2 Paula Radcliffe
Back in 2005 during the London Marathon, Paula Radcliffe wanted to go for the World Record. She wanted it bad. She was having stomach cramps mid-race and really needed to go. She relieved herself in front of the hundreds and thousands of people watching her attempt at the World Record. But it was all worth it, because she ran a 2:17:42 marathon.
