Here
are sports commandments, rules that Olympians and professional sports
people live by. Great learning for our budding athletes.
Sports
is not just s part of life but it actually is the way of life. Sports
is the discipline, the character, the aptitude and the attitude of a
person. So, if you are serious about a sports career, inculcate these
ten habits now, and live by them, come what may, just like
professional athletes do.
- Thou shall think team.
You
can never win alone. Period. Even if you are into an individual
sport, like swimming or running or something else, you still have a
team that works with you to help you achieve what you are able to.
Respect that fact. The day you replace the word ‘I’ with ‘WE’,
that is the day you’ll move close to your success (or your team’s
success, we must say).
- Thou shall be passionate about your sport.
Yes,
it’s sport and not victory. Being obsessed with victory does not
count as passion. You must totally be in love with your sport. That’s
the routine, and that’s the recreation, sort of passion. If you
have passion, you’ll learn and get better every time you lose, but
if it’s obsession with victory, you’ll get demoralized every time
you lose.
- Thou shall work on your strength – physical, mental and emotional.
Being
strong means beyond physical strength. This by now you would have
understood. But what you need to really sink-in is the fact that
working only on game skills would not do, you need to consciously
work upon your mental and emotional strength also. Work on your
relationships, get rid of your insecurities, do what you scared to
do, meditate, go to a serene place and spend quality time with
yourself, work on fulfilment, work on happiness.
- Thou shall not whine
Being
a sports person you have to learn to take everything in your stride.
You cannot afford to complain or whine about things even if they are
genuinely bothering you. Learn to make things work.
- Thou shall eat healthy.
You
must prepare a diet chart and as far as possible, stick to it. there
can be a party bump or Holiday break, but you must control the
frequency. Eating healthy will not only ensure physical health but
will ensure mental health also. Good food will take care of a lot of
worries.
- Thou shall have sleep discipline.
Abrupt
sleep pattern can make life difficult. It’ll cause fatigue, stress,
lethargy and even health problems like hypertension, migraine etc.
Again, like with food, try and stick to the routine as far as
possible with as few breaks as possible.
- Thou shall cherish good friends.
Have
a circle of friends and spend quality time with them. This will
refresh you beyond you know. It will also bring in deep sense of
security and belonging. Most of all, you will have friends, one of
the biggest fortunes to have.
