  Fitness is not just about looking good; it’s about feeling strong, energetic, and healthy in all aspects of your life. The foundation of fitness begins with understanding what it truly means to be fit and how to set yourself up for long-term success. It is important to recognize that fitness is not a one-time achievement, but rather a continuous journey that requires dedication, balance, and conTo build a solid foundation, you must first understand the four main components of fitness: strength, cardiovascular health, flexibility, and body composition. Strength refers to your muscles’ ability to exert force. Cardiovascular health focuses on the efficiency of your heart and lungs. Flexibility ensures that your muscles and joints can move freely and safely. Lastly, body composition relates to the ratio of lean mass to fat in your body, which affects your overall health and performance.sistency. 
  Consistency is key when it comes to fitness. It is better to make small, sustainable changes to your lifestyle than to dive into intense workout routines that are not feasible long-term. Start with manageable goals and build upon them. This approach not only avoids burnout but also ensures that fitness becomes a regular part of your routine. Many people fall short of their fitness goals because they try to change too much too quickly, leading to frustration and eventual failure. Instead, focus on making steady progress with realistic expectations. 
  Setting clear and realistic fitness goals is another crucial aspect of your fitness foundation. Whether your goal is to lose weight, increase strength, improve endurance, or enhance flexibility, defining a specific, measurable goal will provide you with direction and motivation.

  Success in any sport begins with the right mindset. The journey to becoming a champion is not just about physical prowess but also about cultivating a mental framework that supports peak performance. A champion’s mindset is characterized by resilience, confidence, and an unwavering belief in their ability to succeed, regardless of the challenges they face. 
  Developing mental toughness is essential for overcoming setbacks and staying focused on long-term goals. Athletes with a strong mindset view obstacles not as barriers but as opportunities to grow. They embrace adversity as a chance to learn, adapt, and improve. This resilience is often built through consistent practice, reflection, and the willingness to confront uncomfortable situations. Champions do not fear failure; they use it as fuel to push forward. 
  Another critical aspect of the champion's mindset is confidence. Confidence is not arrogance but a deep trust in one’s preparation, skills, and ability to perform under pressure. This self-assurance often comes from thorough preparation and relentless dedication to honing one’s craft. Visualization techniques can also enhance confidence. Many top athletes use mental imagery to see themselves succeeding, whether it’s scoring a goal, hitting a perfect shot, or executing a flawless play. This mental rehearsal strengthens their belief in their ability to achieve their goals.

  Slatehead - The Ascent of...

  SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2020 BOARDMAN TASKER MOUNTAIN LITERATURE PRIZE
  Bobby Drury left Liverpool after O-levels, knowing he had f***ed them up. Free now, he hitched to Snowdonia. His mum came crying on the phone, 'You've failed them all.' Bobby knew that. 'No, Mum, I've led Vector.' This was Thatcher's lost generation. The slate quarries were walking distance; they'd have a smoke, a party in an abandoned hut, try and climb something. A small culture emerged of punks, nutters, artists and petty thieves, crawling up abandoned rock, then heading to the disco at the Dolbadarn. These were the Slateheads.
  The people in these interleaving worlds – the punk dole dropout star- climbers; the Victorian quarrymen pioneers; the Welsh-speaking grandson of a ropeman, abseiling in to bolt sport climbs like Orangutang Overhang in the Noughties, Lee and his mates slogging west today – all are polished like nuggets in this 360° view over patience, pride, respect, thrill, movement, the competing claims of home and agency, and above all, a belief in second chances.
