It is very important to me to be at my personal best or to be striving to reach it. It is a good motivation to know that I can achieve more because I have done so in the past. In a lot of cases, this is a very real and reasonable goal for me. The feeling I get when I’m at my personal best is unparalleled. I am reluctant to take up rugby again because I am not willing to commit enough time to it to reach my personal best. In the case of rugby, I also feel less likely to get injured when at my personal best, so I can’t see myself playing it again in the near future. Reaching my personal best every time I play squash provides fresh excitement, as I am still in the early stages of learning. In climbing I always strive to be at my personal best, as well as competing to climb equally well or better than friends I’m climbing with.
Also, in climbing staying fluid is crucial. Dynamic, efficient motion demands fluidity. This is my key focus in skill improvement in climbing as I know that adding strength also means adding weight, resulting in a less efficient improvement process. Physical bulk is also a much more short-term gain. Staying fluid is very important in lots of sports.
