My advice to Choco on being better

Wheels of Happiness

Rizal Philippines    July 21, 2014

I happened to have Choco2 on a one on one occasion and I had the opportunity to say a couple of things regarding his biking

1.   We are proud that he was allowed to join the Philippine Olympic team screening trials.  It is a great honor to be included in that elite group.

2.  The hope is really in the youth not us oldies and foggies.  Therefore he should aspire and strive to be champion.

3.  It all starts in the heart and the desire to be  a champ.  Since he is young he can be the champ.

4.  If others can, so he can too.

5. All that is needed is disciplined, constant hard practice.  It took Lance Armstrong 12 years before he won (?) his first TDF.  Others say that you need 10 years at least of constant deep practice.   If you were defeated in the steep hills, practice some more.  Maybe a hundred times, and at the hills where you lost. TDF riders, have houses in France where they handle to climb and attack the Alps and Pyrenees.

Maybe  look for a coach.  Have someone mentor you on how to ride great strong and fast

I hope some of this got through Choco2.  (Jimwell Mariposa)
