PEP TALK FROM Coach ALTA!!!
YOU ARE DOING AMAZING!!! 
!!!
....remember that!!! About soccer,...
I am so proud of you for enrolling first off, and for actually WANTING to do it! 
You can tell a lot already in your mentality, and the way you think about things now, that you REALLY REALLY want this!!
The fact that you want JJ to have an athletic mom is AMAZING!!! That's the best gift you can ever give yourself for him!!!...
...Personally though, ...you always motivate me to believe in myself....so here goes....
I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD QUIT!!!!! For a couple reasons:
-
#1 -You enrolled...--Satisfaction comes from FINISHING things...not quitting..
-
#2 -This is obviously a challenge for you- and since you ARE competitive, this might be just what you need to really keep you motivated at trying this extra running around the blocks more...(I think you probably went around the block to run more, cause you might have been tired throughout the game, intimidated by the other people's skill, forcing you to want to improve yours. That's Great!
-
#3- To really show yourself
CONTROL. -to show yourself that you have control over the situation, and that NO ONE IS JUDGING YOU BUT YOU!!!..YOU CAN CONTROL THE ANXIETY, with more Practice.
-
#4 - To do this as a Family with Sean
-#5- To take it back to Old School kid days when being part of an exercise team was the ISH!...
-#6- Because you don't like it....(just like running...I hated it at first...now I love it....gee why...because I got better at it...then I didn't suck as much)...with time...I think you'll like it!! Give it a chance though...
-#7 so that Sean won't say you are a quitter, and so you won't resent him and treat him mean for being better than you...
"The mother of skill is REPETITION"...you know this already....

...
...how scarred were you when you first started Real Estate and going on appointments by yourself at first, and whether or not you were going to make it right?.....BUT LOOK AT YOU NOW!!! You are doing AMAZING!!!
YOU JUST CLOSED 5 ESCROWS!!!....but what got you there?.....
.....REPEATING the same tasks daily, ....prospecting...talking to tons of people, not stopping and DOING IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER...til you were one of the best!!!!

...did it happen over night?.....
HELL NO!!!....did it take hard work?........
HELL YES!...is it stressful?.......
FUCK YEAH!...are the results worth all the stress and anxiety at the end of the story?
HELL YEAH!...do you feel so proud of yourself....?
MORE THAN EVER!
...
.things are difficult in life....YES,...they are.....BUT really Ivette....think about it....those people you are playing with...didn't get GOOD and PROFESSIONAL overnight!!! They worked hard at it, and did just as you are doing.....
THEY STARTED!...that's the MOST important step....You have to start somewhere...You can't be the best over night,....you have to work hard...and YOU KNOW THIS BETTER THAN ANYONE!!!
...
I say take the CHALLENGE...don't let yourself down....and RIDE IT OUT!....FINISH IT! Yeah, you could do a lot of things that are less stressful, but really though,.....are they going to challenge you to become better?
..Are they going to give you the same satisfaction as getting to know all these new people on the teams and having yourself earn your own respect and theirs for putting in all your hard work and dues, and showing improvement...?
....
You are your own worst critic....Believe me....You can't get worse...you can only get BETTER!!! You always motivate me not to quit things...and I actually learn a lot about FINISHING things from you....
....Motivation for me wavers too....but it's easier when I don't focus on weight loss, and I focus on DAILY ACTIVITY instead...or being part of a team, club or doing things not for just loosing weight.
....I know you just called me and told me that you were
QUITTING...but DON'T BE A QUITTER!!! BE AN INSPIRATION TO YOURSELF!!!
!
...I love you a lot....and I know you are very very AMAZING...I haven't ever known or thought of you as a quitter....DON'T START NOW!!!!
