One of my favorite experiences from 2017 was meeting 5-Time Olympian Kerri Walsh Jennings and her husband, Casey. As a former volleyball player this was a dream come true. During our conversation, my husband asked them how their approach to training and recovery has changed as they have gotten older. In the course of his answer, Casey shared this sentiment about Kerri: she shows up every day. While he also shared some practical tips such as ice baths and saunas, the idea that you have to just show up resonated with me.
They also discussed this notion from Aristotle…
* Technically, the quote above is attributed to Will Durant who was writing
on Aristotle work “these virtues are formed in man by his doing the actions”.
