To be an athlete, especially one of the three sport variety, is a huge undertaking, as it requires year-round commitment and a passion for hard work. Personally, I have played consistently in three sports since the fifth grade, and I believe this lifelong dedication has paid off for me. It’s impossible to put all of your energy into being an athlete, because while becoming successful in sports is one thing, it is an entirely more important matter to become a successful student. Balancing this can be hard and it is that balance which must be perfected in order to become a good athlete. An athlete to me isn't just someone who straps on their jersey and plays a game, it is a person who is dedicated to a sport on and off the field, and someone who exemplifies the best qualities in their environment.
Sports have been a big part of my life since I was young. When I reach one goal, I begin a new and more challenging goal to achieve. When I overcome my goals, I feel a sense of happiness, and amazement that I can be the best that I can be.
To begin, athletes do not only excel on the field, but they also show off their extraordinary assistance off
As a casual reader of the sports section of this newspaper, you come across many articles depicting the triumphs of local athletes. However, very rarely do these articles describe the actual athlete behind the success. Athletes come in all sorts of sizes and shapes. They range from the incredibly talented to the horribly uncoordinated. Some are great teammates while others would rather be a one man team. Certain athletes seek out attention from the people around them while others are modest and stay in the background. The fact of the matter is that there is a wide spectrum of different types of athletes that exist in this world and no two athletes are exactly the same. However, each can be put
Overcoming the fact that one day you will not be able to play your sport is one of the hardest things all athletes must one day go through. It is a fact of the game that one day your eligibility runs out or if you are one of the lucky few who play professionally, your body’s years of health do not last forever. Coaching just to be around the sport and spread the joy that sport gave you for so many years. My coaching philosophy relies extremely heavily on this information. I have always been a person who is passionate about the things I love because I do not believe in not putting your whole heart into something. The most critical component to success in whatever sport you love lies in honoring the game that so many before you loved and excelled at. Excelling and honoring the game means having respect for everyone involved with the sport. Giving respect to your coaches is something I learned from the beginning. Being respectful and having a positive attitude learned at a young age is something completely taken for granted until you have adults who can neither adapt nor be flexible when something does not go their way. Sport is a form of education in that it teaches you similar life lessons that will be useful for far longer than the amount of time that you spend actually playing it.
For every human being, we all need some types of effort before achieving the ultimate result that we are so desire for. However, there's different level of effort, some may be high and some may be low. In other words, the result can be vary. Either way, the effort creates the result, without the effort the result will never be generated. One of the example of effort is sports. In sports, player can start of great and generate great number, but if he/she did not put in the effort the number will decline immediately. For example, Tyreke Evans, a NBA (National Basketball Association) who got drafted 4th in 2009, he puts up a crazy stats at the start and winning the rookie of the year honor. However, due to his lack of effort his number decline
What is coaching – “The coach works with the clients to achieve a speedy, increased and sustainable effectiveness in their lives and careers through focused learning. The coach’s sole aim is to work with the client to achieve all of the client’s potential-as defined by the client” The Coaching Manual Starr, J 2008.
Many athletes are praised for their performances in middle school and high school; however, when they realize they have made it to pay at a college level they tend to relax. Because of the constant praise athletes get an ego and tend to think because they are the best they do not have to try as hard as others on the team (or other athletes in general). They stop grinding (or putting in work) because they think they have already made it and their job is done. Some people are not as fast, skilled, or talented as other, but if you put work in you can still make it. Eric says that while others are relaxing and taking it easy while you are grinding soon enough you are going to pass them and become better than them. You have the drive and drive can
First, athletes have hard jobs. “Athletes often work irregular hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.” (page 1.) So, the athletes have to go out of their way to work for the people and to earn money for their families. “They often work outside, so they may be exposed to all weather conditions.” (page 1.) The athletes have to stay fit and keep their bodies at a good temperature so they can do their job and, to do difficult tasks for our enjoyment. The athletes have to maintain optimum physical fitness, and follow nutrition plans. (page 1.) This is another example showing all of us that they do things to play their sports for our entertainment. Athletes have tremendously hard and challenging jobs.
First off, athletes give time and effort to maintain a successful career. It’s not like athletes go out and only play one game a day or so. Pro athletes put in a lot of training, studying, and everything they’ve got. They are very dedicated and love the game
A lot of athletes now a days can accomplish many great things in their career. Some
When coaching, is it better to be all bark and no bite, all bite and no bark, or a little bit of both? Over his 17 year span of life, Robert has experienced all different kinds of coaching styles. Every coach has their own fresh style of coaching, but to broaden the styles, they will be divided into two techniques: aggressive coaches and passive coaches. Most coaches utilize a mixture of both styles, but those two styles are the most effective. Each type of coach approaches how their relationship with their players should be differently. They also use different ways to make each player execute the material to what they think is sufficient. As most things in life, both styles of coaching don’t always work perfectly. The coach’s main
Little to no empirical data exist on the impact of life coaching and achieving goals (Grant, A. M.). Goals are critical factor when it comes to building long term success in life.
