This is a sport where our success relies on the entire team being present. As individuals, we must sometimes let go of what we want for ourselves in order to achieve goals for the entire team. We must show up physically and mentally every day with the heart for the team. We don’t make excuses. We don’t back out of our commitment. We hold ourselves accountable for our own actions. Sometimes it’s not easy. Sometimes there’s tension. Or communication styles differ. Or we don’t like decisions that are made. Or we have other things in life we miss out on. Or we just have to suck it up and do what needs to be done. But in the end, we will see it’s been worth it. In the end, we will see the goals we set with our team were our own goals all along. In the end, long after competition day is over, we will be shaped into leaders for life. We will be disciplined, trustworthy, hard working, and honest. We will gain a lifetime of character in this sport. Here’s to showing up for that. Every day. Here’s to being present for myself, my team, and my sport.
