“The power of one is above all things the power to believe in
yourself, often well beyond any latent ability you may have previously

demonstrated. The mind is the athlete, the body is simply the means
it uses to run faster or longer, jump higher, shoot straighter, kick
better,
swim
harder,
hit
further,
or
box
better.”
― Bryce Courtenay, The Power of One
