The Will to Prepare to Win
- By Kevin Dishon, PT, DPT, TPI level 2 Medical and Fitness Professional

ince Lombardi said, “The will to win is not nearly so important as the will to prepare to
win” which remains one my most inspirational quotes. This quote insinuates that if any
athlete, or person, wishes to be successful, he or she must take all of the small steps
necessary to succeed. Although many professional and amateur athletes practice and exercise,
diet is one major component of preparing to win that people often neglect.
Our diet is our way of fueling the body for all the activities we do on a daily basis. While eating
has evolved into something enjoyable, we must remember that nourishment is ultimately the
end goal of eating. It is easy to get sucked into eating processed foods that are high in sugar
while on the course because they’re typically available at the halfway house however, if you fuel
your body right, it could lead to lower rounds on the course.
