Who do you want to be?
Everyone has a goal. They have something or someone they want to be. That goal is different for everyone. Some people just want to make the team. Some want to be part of the starting 11. Some people want to be the best scorer or defender on their team, in their league, or even in the world.
One thing is the same for everyone though – if you have a goal, someone else has that goal too. If you want to be the best scorer, you can be certain someone else on another team wants to be the best scorer too. If you want to just make the team, there are probably 30-40 other players that want to make that same team.
Whatever your goal, there will be competition. You will have to be better than other players. This means you will have to work harder and train harder than other players in order to beat them out to achieve your goal. If you aren’t willing to put in the time and effort to train, work hard and grow, you will not achieve your goal. Remember this every time you go to practice, every time you go to the gym, and every time you practice alone. Every time you decide to stay home because it seems too hard to go out and train, you get a little further from your goal. Every time you quit without really giving 100%, you’re cheating yourself out of a little more progress that would get you a few steps closer to your goal.
If you aren’t willing to put in the work, you’ll never get where you truly want to be.
The best way to BE nothing
Is to DO nothing.
