I have been raised a sports fan, and plan to stay that way throughout my life. Whether it is NHL, NFL, NBA, it doesn’t matter to me. The excitement of a last minute finish is something that can’t be replicated by other sources. The dedication shown by athletes is something I draw inspiration from. They decide at a young age to pursue something that they enjoy doing, and want to continue to do throughout their life. It is important for them to recognize obstacles and strategically navigate them in a way that re-focuses their attention. Injuries are a prominent obstacle for professional athletes to overcome, and the dedication they show getting back to pre-injury form is phenomenal.
I can translate lessons from professional athletes to my own life. Goal setting is an important aspect because it creates focus and a way to measure success. It also helps with possible unseen hurdles. Sometimes events occur that at first do not seem to affect your overall goals and aspirations, but if you have concrete goals set it is easier to recognize a possible obstacle and avoid it successfully.
