PERSEVERANCE
As everyone knows being an atlethe is hard, really hard. When you are young, you got to choose training camps and games, instead of having fun. Being an atlethe demands talent, dedication, mental toughness, but above all, it demands perseverance.
It is interesting but understandable that most people you know as atlethes comes from poor families. In many cases, in order to be an atlethe, it is not a choice, it is a must. Rich kids wont spend their effort compared to current atlethes which are millionaires now. Desire, persistence, struggle, blood, sweat, tears but above all… Perseverance. Because you know you have to give more, be more, because you cant quit. When its your only chance, life makes you a perfectionist.
Most of the atlethes we know lost their families, homes, friends, had no place to sleep in some part of their lives. Those difficulties made them who they are. Talent is never enough, you need more, you need perseverance.
