This saying is true for everyone, but it’s especially true for teenage athletes. Being a teenager means that you’re constantly changing and growing as a person. The same thing goes for your athletic abilities. If you want to be better at something, you have to put in more work than someone who’s already good at it.
There are times when things might not go your way, but if you keep pushing through, you’ll eventually get there. It may take longer than expected, but if you stick with it, there’s no doubt it will all pay off one day.
It’s important to remember that life isn’t always a fairytale. But it’s not just about the wins and losses. It’s about the journey to get there and how you handle yourself when things don’t go your way.
But here’s the thing about athletes in their teens: They have the potential to achieve greatness. They have the ability to make their mark on history. They have the power to do something truly great with their lives.
Being a teenager is confusing enough, with conflicting thoughts and emotions. Now being a teenage athlete, that requires extra strength and effort. Here are some inspirational quotes for teenage athletes that I think all young athletes should read, lest they give into anger or frustration.
