Last night, I was doing a consultation with an athlete who actually broke one of her toes and her main question was:
Can I compete in four weeks? I have a competition in four weeks, I want to compete. Do you think I'll be ready?
Well, I actually told her, no joke, I actually said, “I'm very sorry, but my crystal ball is broken.”
However, I can tell you how to figure that out because that is what I teach athletes to figure out when they do the Fast Track challenge.
I have a broken toe and I want to compete in four weeks. Is it possible?
