  Col.
The power of the message is to see how many lives you have touched
and
improved through your coaching.

To this day I still think of workouts that I did with you back in
'89,'90,'91, and how they shaped me as an athlete and coach.

Hope you are still showing the people how high the bar is.
If they want to be reach their potential.

All the Best,

Tim

   This is a media quote from another of my athlete's

Iron-woman! Dr. Fiona Lim. from Malaysia. Who in 2007said about
 Col STEWART
Specialist Triathlon Coach, Mentor
& Motivator
Quote:
It was something Col wrote and has said many time since
 that prompted me to seek his advise on training and racing.


"IF YOU DON'T LIKE THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE 
THEN CHANGE THEM! 
YOU'RE NOT A BLOODY TREE!"

Fiona said:
Even though I was not an elite athlete as such,
I have always strived for self-improvement.
Col has helped me to understand the values of rest, as well as hard work.

He has shared with me his philosophies of life
And has taught me that.
Who ever I may be,
Wherever I may be.
If I am totally committed to my passions.
And if I have self-belief,
I can achieve my goals!

Fiona Lim .................. Malaysia. 2007

AVOID  
STINKIN FINKIN!
 

Think about this!

Remember, amateurs built Noah's Ark;

Whereas, The Titanic was built by professionals.


Most people walk in and out of your life;
However, FRIENDS leave footprints in your heart.

            No! I am not ignorant 
I just ignoring you!

Try to learn from the mistakes of others.  
As you just won’t live long enough  
to make em all yourself!

 

There will always be a point in your life 
when you realize;    
who matters,  
who never did,  
who won't anymore;  
and those few who always will!

                 So! Do not worry about the people from your past, 
                          As there's always a very good reason
                        why they didn't make it into your future. 


Never wrestle with a pig,  
because you will both get dirty, 
But, the pig loves it...
 

If you are traveling the road to nowhere
find another road
 

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF 
FOLLOW YOUR OWN CONVICTIONS 
DO NOT TRY TO EMULATE OTHERS! 
INSTEAD START WHERE  
YOUR COMPETITORS, LEFT OFF!

Nothing will stop you from achieving your goals.
If you develop the right attitude!

Always persist with taking the next step forward.
If that does not work; then take another and another
Until you reach your goals!
Only then, can you set higher goals to reach and attain

Defeat! For me is not an options
Nor is my life a one off affair!
therefore I will not allow it to
reach a stand still.
 

Look in your the mirror,
If you do not like what you see
Then how can you expect anybody else to like you?

 

Everything great is as difficult to realise,  
as it is rare to find!
 

Whereas, I do not know the key to total success,
The key to failure is surely trying to please everybody!

                    Did you know?         
The height of cleverness
is being able to conceal it! 


Please grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I cannot accept,
And the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had
to kill today, just because they pissed me off!

LEARN, COMMITMENT, FOCUS, AND SELF-CONTROL!
BECAUSE CHAMPIONS ARE ACHIEVER!
NEVER
FOLLOWER!
 
Some people love a drama.
others love a crisis.
Me! I just love the feeling of satisfaction I get
from knowing the right things are happening.
That it is being done in the right way.
At the right time.
But! Above all for the right reasons!

 

From the greatest ever Japanese Samurai Warrior
Miyamoto Musashi.

  1. Always study the enemy

  2. Avoid predictable attacks

  3. Do not be negligent, even in trifling matters

  4. The way is in the training

  5. Deal with perception, not sight

  6. Do not engage in useless activity

  7. Know the ways of many weapons

  8. Plan logically,

  9. attack emotionally

  10. Do not intend to wound – But! to kill

These extracts were taken from “The book of the rings.
 

Practice the art of winning!

Spar with the competition while learning their weaknesses
Know when and where they are most likely to attack.

One is strong if he can make the competition react to him and his every move
However, one is weak if he must react to the competition!

Develop your own personal flawless strategy.
Make sure it is 'formless', and above all 'invisible' to your competitors,
'formless strategy' cannot be discovered!
Your competition cannot defeat an 'invisible strategy!

Defeat the competition by controlling the situation,
Then your competitors will be left to wonder.
How you were able to control the situation.

Always make your results obvious
While your methods remain hidden.

Each conflict represents a unique situation.
Therefore, your strategies should flow like water. 
However, be wily and do not repeat successful strategies
                                                                                   
The winner is the one who moulds his victories
by adapting his plans and recourses
to

 the strengths and weaknesses of his opponents
He is, the genius. – And! Will become the winner!


IF YOU SERIOUS 
ABOUT BECOMING  AN ELITE OR PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE. 
ISN'T IT TIME TO ACT LIKE ONE?


LOOKING AT LIFE THROUGH MY EYES

Look at life as a beautiful rich thought
one woven from many rich and wonderful colours.

 If you do not like the way, your world is,
Then change it.
However, do it one-step at a time.

 To want is to select a goal
The key is your action and performance.
Do what you have to do, to be the best.

If you stumble or fall, rise and stand ten feet tall,
After all, it is you who determines the course you travel.

If you believe you can be a winner, you can win,

If you dare to step up,
Only then, do you give yourself, every chance to succeed

 Use strong thoughts to replace doubt.
Think words of courage; so you won't fail!

    THE WINNER!
Is the one who moulds his victories, 
by adapting his plans and recourses to the
 strengths and weaknesses of his opponents.
He is, the genius.
And! he will no doubt be,
     A winner!

 

Life!

To make your ways through this life and survive

One must seek the meaning of life itself.

As life is a time of learning; we must all set achievable goals,

Then we must tactfully, impart on to others, that knowledge, already learned!
 

Ultimately, we must learn to take responsibility

Seek answers, and reasons, why.

Not medications, talk, and so called friendly advice

The right cure is in accepting responsibility, for one’s thoughts, actions, and conduct.

Not to burden others with ‘your life’s’ self-imposed over exaggerated problems!

In order to progress above oneself

 We must continue to set higher challenges and goals.

Learn to fulfil the daily tasks life has set for us!.

And learn to accept, and enjoy the challenge of finding ~ life’s meaning.

As Col Say's
HEY! IT IS NEVER  
BLAME THE COACH WEEK!


If you do not like things,  
the way they are. 
Then change them!  
You’re not a bloody tree!
