ATHLETES, WHY DO YOU DO WHAT YOU DO?
Finding your why behind what you do is extremely important; focusing on your why in training or in competition is gamechanging!
If your focus is more on the external, such as only focusing on winning, worrying about what others think of you, or reaching a certain status, it will put a damper on your ability to succeed.
If all you care about is winning, when the inevitable happens (when you lose) you will feel an overwhelming sense of sadness and frustration, only focusing on the negative aspects of failure and taking away the ability to use the loss as a lesson & an opportunity to get better!
If you are worried about impressing other people, you put their needs before yours. When you focus on what everyone else thinks, you ignore where you are at physically, mentally, and emotionally, and fail to give yourself what you need to succeed in that given moment.
If all you are chasing is a title and status, you fail to put everything you’ve got into your work; because rather than working from a place of love & passion for the sport, you are solely focused on accomplishment. Passion is power!
So whether you are in the midst of a great season where things are working out, or you are in an extremely difficult one where you can’t quite seem to figure it out, remember why you started, why you do what you do, and why you choose to keep doing it! #hangtimetnt #hangtimetntgymnastics #gymnastics #tumbling #tumbler #trampoline #doublemini #why #hardwork #dedication #inspirational #motivation #athlete #doitforyou
