What It Really Takes To Make It

Sometimes I get thinking of all the times I thought that I would t make anywhere. Turns out most of us are far beyond what we like to think we are. Watching the sportsman and sportswoman work the field is just amazing. A show of sportsmanship, talent, gift and grit including all the wonderful bit and twists they all add to the mix. Being a sports fanatic myself I know how hard it is just to get up and go train. But making it to the field is most rewarding. Like the fastest bolt was quoted " competition is fun, real work happens on the field during training and practice". It's the thousand of hours put into play during training that makes the champion. Michael Phelps talks of how not easy it is to actually make it that far. " If it was easy everyone would be doing it" that's what he says after stating that he'd eat tons of pizzas and then go train. "It all burns off", he says. Michael Phelps respects diet but he loves the calories, he believes that the more calories taken in, the harder the training should be. This is because it could cause an imbalance otherwise. 2000 calories a day for the normal/ average man, for Michael Phelps that's a snack but he works it off. So is it just the physical aspect of the athlete that makes a champion? There's a mindset component to it which shapes the champion before everything else like food and all that. More connected to mindset is spirituality, they have to believe that they are champions, to feel their way into the championship. And so they become champions long before they are awarded championship. It's every athletes dream to be recognised as a champion but then again they are already champions.

Conor McGregor is quoted saying that if you can see it, if you can believe it you can achieve it.

Khabib Normagomedov is known for his undefeated undisputed championship, having beat the much celebrated Conor McGregor. What was missing from the visualisation actions of Conor McGregor? It is observed that Conor had humble beginnings but as he continued to unify the belts, he became arrogant. He would shittalk everyone of his opponents. Not knowing how much of a fight is in khabib, Conor went on to throw a chair at the bus Khabib was in, no one was seriously injured but Khabib saw this as the perfect time to get mad. And mad he got, all the way to retirement as champ.

Carrying on, attitude matters a lot in sports. The athlete can be champion but if the attitude isn't much of a leaders or someone to look up to. It becomes a mess later on as they are dethroned. Like most of us, we don't know what we have till it gone. For a champion that's more close than the ordinary people. The champion feels it more, like Usain bolt, he trained all day, everyday. In the sun, in the rain, all types of weather Bolt would be training and practising his craft. "I need to get faster" he would say. And faster he got. All the way to the champion of the world. As far as speed is concerned. So it takes a lot to be the much celebrated athlete everyone loves.

This is what comes to my mind when I see the sportsman and sportswoman working the field. With a good attitude and training, there's no stopping them. They are their own limits, which they break every day.

Whatever the sports code, the threshold stays the same. It's all on the athlete. How far they can break or make themselves and how long they can keep that going. Against all odds, trust that there is so much to the odds when it comes to sports. The athletes themselves,the fans, spectators, families, endorsing entities, so much more. Against all these odds, champions are made. Coming out victorious all the time, if not then most of the times.

In other field it's pretty much dependant on the person themselves too. There's many aspects to this but best be how deep the love for the game is. How much more they are willing to put in. Its amazing how much the human body can stretch a because of a slight change of mindset. This is how records are broken, time and time again. Like twigs they break after a major record break. It's never easy, no one said it'd be easy. Life itself is not easy now imagine being a professional athlete on top of all that life pressure. Or even your accountants, that's tremendous pressure. But as we observe all around us, success is dripping because people chose to believe in themselves. Owning the moment like we should. For all time sake, we should always strive to own the moment for as long as we can. Never back down or tap out. It's ok to get some help signals here and there but when it comes to quiting, it takes a while mindset shift to quit and live with it. Rather regroup and recuperate than giving up.

Mindset is most important in any game. I have seen this with myself. I had to strengthen some weak points but I still have so much more to correct, so strengthen and to improve. Looking at the world I learn so much every single day. The noise to block out. The skill to sharpen. To confidence to strive for even when faced with all types of odds. Trust the feeling, she said. It's indeed a beautiful time to be alive.
