Athletes: People that always inspired me for many reasons. Reading the biography or watching a video about any successful sportsman was always motivational. They are not scientists or experts for any educational field. Yet, by listening to them, you can learn a bunch of useful things that can help you improve your entire life. More precisely, each athlete in the world is a professor in some specific way. You have probably heard many times in the news that there is a child that is super-talented for some sport. However, you have noticed that not all of them build up a career that everyone expected they will. I was always wondering why something like this happens. These kids had talent and they were working on the improvement of their skills. But, what exactly went wrong? Well, after many years of studying different mindsets and mentalities, I have got the answer to this question. One of the main reasons why a small percentage of athletes become successful is: SELF-MOTIVATION.
