NAIROBI, March 23 (Xinhua) -- Kenya's track legend Paul Tergat has urged athletes to take cross country competitions seriously as it boosts their performances during the track and road race seasons.
Tergat, who is a five-time World Cross Country Champion, said the event has had a low acceptance rate, especially from athletes in Europe and America, yet it has been proven it serves as a stepping stone towards building an athlete's stamina and endurance.
"Cross country is a very important event. And as we head to Kampala, it is important for those athletes who avoid it because it is strenuous to note that it helps boost their preparedness in terms of endurance," he said.
Tergat is the brand ambassador for the IAAF during the World Cross Country Championships, which will be held on Sunday in Kampala.
Last month he toured the course in Kampala and it filled him with nostalgia knowing what fame and accomplishment he gained out of the event during his active days as an athlete.
"This is very fine," Tergat said after a tour of the course. "It is a good challenging course with so many obstacles that will give a great scene to the spectators and a great run to the athletes."
Tergat said the about 600 athletes who will line up for the championships will have an upper hand in the build-up to the track season, which starts in May as they seek to attain optimum performance ahead of the World Championships in London in August.
But he singled out Kenya to dominate the event which returns to the Africa continent for the fifth time. World Cross Country Championships were first held in Africa in 1975 in Rabat, before Johannesburg, Marrakech and Mombasa staged the game.
Now he has prodded the Kenya team, which departs to Kampala Thursday, to go and affirm their prowess in the event by winning in the Ugandan capital.
His sentiments were echoed by another cross country great, Kenyan John Ngugi.
After missing out on the top podium places at 2007 Mombasa World Cross Country, Ngugi said that it's now time for senior men and women to remedy that with victories at Kampala.
Tergat on the other hand, said Kenyan juniors have now matured to take on the world after they failed to secure victory at the 2015 World Cross Country Championships in Guiyang, China.
Ngugi made history when he became the first man to win five senior men's 12km titles at the World Cross Country Championships. He won the races back-to-back from 1986 to 1989 before returning to claim the title again in 1992.
Tergat would become the second man to win the race five times, equaling Ngugi's record with back-to-back victories in 1995 to 1999.
In this brief Forever Living business training lesson for Forever Living distributors I will give an overview an internet strategy for attracting leads online. But first lets take a look at the standard Forever Living success training that the majority of Forever Living distributors are advised on from day one. As it goes
Armani Watts Chiefs Jersey , they are advised to sit down and write down a list of prospects to launch their business of at least 100 or more people they know. We are encouraged to include family, friends, former school mates, and so forth. We make our list and then begin dialing the numbers. With perhaps a hint of excitement we begin dialing hoping to get our list of potential recruits at least curious about taking a look at the Forever Living opportunity.
Traditional Forever Living Business Training: The Family And Friends Challenge
Not long though after our initial mlm training on inviting prospects and that first family member is contacted reality slows our momentum. Although a good number of them wouldnt mind being a customer, we all of a sudden find that prospects we first believed would join us are much more apprehensive than we had thought about actually joining as a marketer in the business. Our previous enthusiasm instead now begins to wane as we move further through our list. We are going the distance however and by no means giving up on achieving Forever Living success or quitting. From Forever Living business training we realize its a numbers game. What propels us forward is the realization we only need a few to enroll out of the 100 people to get things started. So we continue ignoring the disinterested responses to get to the few “yes tell me more” responses. After sorting through nearly one hundred phone numbers we have a few presentations booked. We begin to go on our appointments and even go as far as signing a few recruits into Forever Living.
However, most often, the scenario that plays out from the cell phone list is that it rarely works out over time for most people. That is if it is the only Forever Living recruiting method being used. This happens because you reach the end of such a list eventually and there is no one else to talk to. Along with that fact, many of those that do sign up among family and friends will often quit working the business before any real measure of success. For this reason the family and friends mlm recruiting process actually works for less than 1% of the people who venture into network marketing. The warm market is simply too limited to be your primary Forever Living leads source.
Internet Forever Living Business Training: The “Endless” MLM Lead Generation Solution
What if it were possible to have access to an endless, non stop “always growing”, potential recruit list of much better qualified prospects? I am not referring to some overused, unresponsive leads bought or purchased from a leads broker. Rather, a list unique to you and composed of experienced mlmers that are actually desiring to talk to you about your opportunity. Imagine, no more dependence on the limitations of a “warm market” list. Well you actually can create such a list by using a simple .
