How do professional athletes reach their level of success?
Many people believe that profession/elite athletes have special or secret information that helps them with their success.
According to “15 Surprising Facts about World Class Athletes”, Martin Miller put together a survey for world class athletes asking them about success. This excerpt explains the thoughts of many athletes.
“Do world class athletes have esoteric information that affords them a greater opportunity for success?”
“No! A survey conducted by Martin Miller of 427 world class athletes revealed that they did not have access to any information that the general public could not attain. However, it was found that elite athletes have a greater knowledge of the available information. They also use the information to benefit their performance more so than non elite athletes. In other words, world class athletes are more knowledgeable about their sport because they study more, not because they have access to esoteric information.”
I believe that athletes don't have specific information on how to be successful because there really isn't specific information.It’s based on your ability of the sport and being able to get better and improve your skills. Being successful means to work hard at what you want to achieve and actually achieve it. According the the article it says that elite athletes have more knowledge of success and the game. That statement makes sense because they have been playing and training for almost their whole lives and they have goals to strive for and when they reach them, that is known as success to them because they have won and achieved the goal they once thought was impossible. This article has been very reliable in trying to understand the realization of elite athletes and how they reach their success.
After reading about success, I wonder, how do kids or adults with disabilities become so successful and learn to work hard during the time of what they are going through?
