Athletes make things happen and get things done through sustained and effective effort because effort can make all the difference between success and failure.
Very often we seek the fastest and easiest way towards attaining our goals using as little energy as possible. Serious athletes believe otherwise because they take pride in their efforts, being fully aware that, improved performances will not come their way unless they put their minds and their hearts into hard training and competition.
Extra effort can transform frustration and misfortune into a success, in other words it is the surest way to reaching the desired heights and sought after achievements.
After all the sweating and aching is over, nothing remains but the joy of knowing that the effort put in has made all the difference.
