Mythos
behind the name
Mythos def: a myth, legend, or a tale. A story or a set of stories that have significant truth or meaning to a particular group of people, especially those dealing with supernatural forces
‘Mythos’ is a hard word to easily define… sometimes it refers to the general landscape of myths and legends – gods goddesses, heroes, and great adventures. Sometimes it refers to a set of beliefs that venture into the realm of the deeply super-natural. Regardless of how you choose to define the word, it represents a space in which we are forced to blur the lines between the known reality and the impossibly fantastic…
In the modern landscape of science and data it has become all too prevalent to reduce our training, or even our adventure as athletes on the whole, to what can be readily quantified. Despite the fact that collecting and assessing data is absolutely a pillar of quality training – it is important to remember that there will always be an element of the human experience that simply cannot be reduced to numbers. There will always be something that escapes definition, defies logic, and stretches our belief.
At the core, “mythos” is about always leaving that door cracked. It’s about understanding there is a power in all of us as humans to push through the barrier and exist, even if just for a moment, on that far side of what we believe is possible.
Life is way too short to resign yourself to the mundane. So be a dreamer, open your mind, blur the lines, and always remember that the only thing truly separating the possible and the impossible is your belief.
