What makes a Great Athlete?

What makes a Great Athlete?

What is the key to a great athlete?
When you watch your favorite team perform on stage,
do you ever wonder what separates them from the rest? Of course, it takes hours of
practice and incredible coaching, but what else makes them special? Do they
cheer because tumbling is their strong suit? Do they cheer because they are addicted
to success? Do they cheer because every time they step on stage they captivate the
audience? There is a million reasons why athletes start and continue in the world of
cheerleading. What separates athletes, is their desire, drive, commitment, and foresight
for triumph.
Behind every admirable athlete is an exceptional coach. A coach’s job is to set
athletes tools on the table. Coaches give athletes motivation, strength, inspiration,
technique, and knowledge. It is up to the athlete to build their success. Just like
building a house, every construction company has the same tools, but it’s their
creativity, and work ethic that separates a charming house from a magnificent house.

It starts with your mindset.

Don’t get me wrong, becoming an Angel Rice takes thousands of gym hours and
exceptional raw talent, but it all starts with a mindset. Turning your mind on “success
mode” will take you farther than you believe. Additionally, believing in your capabilities
and undoubting your strength mentally and physically is the key to achievement.

 

 

When you set a goal, know there will be roadblocks. Set your goal nonetheless and persist.

When you set a goal in sight it’s a given that there will be barriers, walls,and maybe even roadblocks. You should decide that no matter WHAT, you are going do whatever it takes to succeed, and that starts with your mindset.
Many ingredients go into a truly skilled athlete, but the most important element is confidence and a
strong determination. Take a step back and tell yourself that you truly are capable of
everything you put your mind to, and one day you will be great too. Believing in yourself is your strongest superpower.

Believing in yourself is your strongest superpower.
