Lack of motivation? Just hear what John McAvoy needs to say
Sometimes you need a little push to keep going and achieve your goals. But for John McAvoy was different, he went from being in jail to a Nike sponsored triathlete. Keep your motivation up!
It was a life full of excess for John, going for trips to Ibiza not worrying about any responsibilities but to "enjoy" the time of booze, drugs and money. But who can blame him, after being pulled to the robbery lifestyle he knew he could get more than enough money to be "rich".
This was not until he got caught in a robbery where John was nearly shot. Nothing happened beyond some bruises from a fight with the cops, but of course he went to jail.
After a few years in prison he found out that a close friend of his was shot dead in a persecution for a "job".
He then realize that this was not a lifestyle to live in, and this was when exercise found him. John became "obsessed" for exercise, if you could said that.
One time a prison officer presented a row machine to John, he immediately started rowing.... well he kept on doing that for 24 hrs setting a world record for furthest distance.

He states that exercise made him feel alive. Inside prison everybody only thinks about survival, but when he exercise he felt just like he was free outside of jail like a normal human being.
"I found I could suffer" with his mind telling that every second counts he kept on going without any question, this mentality made stronger the feelings to prove that he would live a better life and forget about his past life for good.
You will not know what real motivation and trusting in yourself is until you watch his video. Come and see it!
Keep rolling till you find something you love
