Commitment: Be Willing to Pay the Price
Natural talent only determines the limits of your athletic potential. It’s dedication and a willingness to discipline your life that makes you great.“ Billie Jean King
Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda… I remember some tremendously talented athletes in my highschool. I also remember some talented athletes who everyone said were going to go all the way, become National champions, World Champions and Olympic champions. The reality is that the ones who really went on to succeed were not the most talented. They were really the ones who put in the time and kept working when things weren’t going so well. They were those who went the extra mile and then some. They went through the disappointments, the rejections and the adversity. It may have taken them double or triple the time to understand a concept or develop a skill but when they got it, they got it. These individuals made up for what they didn’t have in talent through hard work. From my experience, it’s worth it. Dream big, put in the time, do the work and then write me a letter with your success story.
