Trying To Get Better Is Essential
64 seconds. That’s it. That’s all it takes to run a 400m.
I induce this phrase so that I can remember that I can pursue anything. So, I ran track for some years so I’ll be speaking about how the track has influenced my life.
So first, I’m going to talk about the diligence needed to succeed in the track. Then I’ll explain why my track shoes are so important to me.
Have Diligence
To begin, doing anything less than your best is unacceptable. Having to maintain the diligence to do your best and always try to get better is essential. Because of our extensive workouts that usually lasted at least an hour, usually closer to two hours, I quickly had to learn to be hardworking. Even though my coach worked me harder than I ever thought I never could work, I was able to do well in my meets, so that was great.
So, in learning to do, to be hardworking, I also had to remember to never give up. I was usually the first leg in my relays, so I owed it to my team. I had the responsibility to do my very best and never give up. If I gave up at the end of a leg or you know, didn’t do my best, then it could dictate our overall place in the race.
Track Shoe Importance
So, I owed it to my teammates to never give up and do my best. Now I’m going to talk about why my track shoes are so important to me. In track, the shoes that we wear are essential to our success. They’re lightweight, they’re flexible, and they give us support, they are not going to weigh us down.
If you buy track shoes that are too heavy, you’re gonna get a slower time. It’s just not gonna work. So whenever I am feeling bogged down by stress or feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders, I remember my shoes. I remember that just like track, I have to take that weight off my shoulders to do my best. It’s so hard to be successful if you know, you’re bogged down by stress, so I have to learn to let it go.
In Conclusion
The experiences that I’ve had in track have helped shape who I am as a person. As I first explained, learning to be hardworking and never give up has really shaped me and helped me to be able to push through anything. Also, my track shoes help me remember that I can’t let stress get hold of me; I have to let it go. So, whatever your passion is, whether it’s running or you’d rather die than run, whatever it is, you can learn so much from it and it can really help you become a better person. As I read on google,
— You’re allowed to scream, you’re allowed to cry, BUT DO NOT GIVE UP!
Thank you.
