Athlete: Coach, I can’t get myself to run. Every run feels so heavy.

Coach: That’s normal. Motivation comes and goes.

Athlete: But what if I’ve lost it? Maybe I’m not cut out for this.

Coach: You haven’t lost anything. Motivation isn’t constant—it’s fuel. Sometimes the tank is full. Sometimes it’s empty. That’s why we build habits.

Athlete: So I just force it? Even when I don’t want to?

Coach: Not force. Just start. Lace up. Promise yourself ten minutes. Most times, once you move, the feeling comes back.

Athlete: And if it doesn’t?

Coach: Then you stop. And that’s still a win—you showed up. That’s how discipline grows.

Athlete: So action creates motivation, not the other way around?

Coach: Exactly. You don’t wait to feel motivated. You run first. Motivation follows.

Athlete: Simple… but hard.

Coach: That’s running. The hard parts make the finish worth it.
