Moving Forward

Every day gets me closer to understanding just what the hell I'm doing with this training thing; that is, what the training process means and how to better influence it, both in the short and long term. However, it also requires that I'm willing to put myself out there and test these theories. The best concepts mean nothing if they are not put into practice. This means being willing to be wrong, but also being willing to acknowledge when I'm wrong and change course. Then, using these incorrect avenues as teaching moments for myself to illuminate gaps in my knowledge, and hopefully prevent myself from making the same mistake again. The second half of this is the important part; it is not simply enough to acknowledge a mistake - you must do your best to keep it from being repeated. We can't possibly see every possible outcome, but we need to do our best to try. Use the data to inform decision making moving forward.
