Chapter 6: Perfection vs Mistakes
Today, I want to remind you of something very important: perfection is not always necessary, and sometimes, it’s not even possible. In the world of sports, just like in life, things don’t always go as planned, and that’s perfectly okay. Don’t worry if you make mistakes or if something doesn’t work out on the first try. Even the professionals we admire have made mistakes and stumbled on their way to success. The difference is that professionals don’t give up when they make a mistake. Instead, they move forward with their heads held high and continue working to improve.
What truly matters is the effort you put in, the passion you have for what you do, and the perseverance to overcome obstacles. Mistakes are opportunities for learning, and every time you fall, you get up stronger.
So, don’t demand perfection from yourselves; instead, seek constant improvement. Enjoy the process and celebrate your achievements, both big and small. Remember that the journey to success is filled with challenges, but it’s those challenges that make you grow and become even better athletes.
Keep working hard, maintain your passion, and never let the fear of not being perfect hold you back from giving your best.
