Sports Reveal Character

  The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination

Tommy Lasorda,
a former Major League baseball player


A lot of motivational speakers use sports as a metaphor for life. There are innumerable parallels between what it takes to be successful both at sport and in everyday life. The qualities of determination and hard work contribute to a man's chance of winning in both arenas. Leaders aren't born, they are made just like anything else through hard work, desire, and devotion − the price we'll have to pay to achieve any goal.

People don't go info sports just because it's fun. Most of sportsmen hate exercise, but they can't simply imagine their life without sport. It's part of them, it's what they live for − practice, cheer, integrity, competition, friends, long bus rides, invitations, countless trainings with members of their team who become a family, and coaches they appreciate.

We work hard to get good and then work to get better, because it's hard to stay on top. Winning in sport becomes the habit in life when we try to reach goals. All we should do is clear our mind of "can't".
Being engaged in sport activities we waste energy to renew it. We use our bodies in a marvellous and exciting ways. We undertake a kind of spiritual discipline that shapes our self-perception ("I'm a boxer", "I'm a runner", "I'm a rower", etc.), builds confidence, affects relationships and tests our will to endure trials. There are many obstacles in our everyday life that create adversity and cause stress. Sport is one of the greatest outlets for this stress, giving us something to get excited about, a sence of fulfillment and an escape from our everyday problems.
Sport makes us beleive that everything is possible. Trying to do our best, we can accomplish anything we want in life. The more you dream, the further you get.
