“It's not
whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up”. Vince Lombardi [1].This is a great quote because champions don’t always succeed at first any great athlete
was a beginner once. The people that get knocked down and stay down are the quitters
who accept failure but the select few who keep going and get up are the ones
that are winners in anything. If you want the be the best at anything you have
to work the hardest nothing is going to be handed to you.
In sports people that achieved great things didn’t
just show up and get their trophy and leave, they worked. Jordan Burroughs and
Jake Varner who both won a gold medal at the London Olympics in wrestling didn’t
just show up they put years of work into that dream and they got it they where
once getting pinned and thrown around but they got up and got better and now
they are Olympic champs.
Anthony Robles was born with one leg and in the
book Unstoppable. He didn’t give up he was made fun and he tried wrestling
and got pinned and he could not even stay in a stance with one leg but he go
back up and now he is a NCAA champ in wrestling.
