Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.

You must also give mental and physical fitness priority.

I think if you exercise, your state of mind - my state of mind - is usually more at ease, ready for more mental challenges. Once I get the physical stuff out of the way it always seems like I have more calmness and better self-esteem.

Fitness is important, but the most important thing is how you adapt and the way you feel physically. To adapt to a new position. To try to change your game.

Fitness needs to be perceived as fun and games or we subconsciously avoid it.

Spiritual 'exercise' keeps your mind in shape the way physical exercise keeps your body in shape.

Your mind and soul are the kings of your physique way more than any exercise you do.

Fitness is not about being better than someone else... It's about being better than you used to be.

You can always improve your fitness if you keep training.

The mind is absolutely instrumental in achieving results, even for athletes. Sports psychology is a very small part, but it's extremely important when you're winning and losing races by hundredths and even thousandths of a second.
