Not Giving Up In Sports

Decent Essays

You sometimes learn a lot more when you lose. You will work a lot harder to win against the team that beat you. My second learning experience is that you should try your best. You will have more pride if you try your best. Also you may surprise yourself and do things you thought you couldn’t. An example would be thinking you might

    For over ten years my average day consisted of four main activities: school, homework, gymnastics, and sleep. While school breaks or holidays may have upset three of the four, competitive gymnastics was always a constant. Three hours a day five days a week with no off season left no room for apathy. During my years as a gymnast, I learned the lessons I am sure every athlete is taught— dedication, time management, and determination. However, gymnastics taught me two lessons that other athletes fail to learn thoroughly.…

The only way you can get better without practice is by getting stronger, and that is rarely enough to beat good kids.…

So if you always push yourself a little bit farther even when you know you'll lose, you will get better because you're trying and pushing yourself in the worst of times. Adversity will push you farther even when you don't see it coming and when you remember who you sparred with you will realize how good you actually…

The biggest life lesson that has always stuck with me is overcoming adversity. Out of all my years of playing football, we have never gone undefeated, and I have always faced the adversity of being down in games.…
