"I made the team syndrome"   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #8332 of 8502 |
I read Dwight's June tip of the month and noticed how he talked about
the "I made the team syndrome" that affects many athletes whether it's
making it to State or making the Olympic team. I have just made the
team to compete in the Word Youth Championships and I was wondering if
anyone can help me with going into the meet mentally prepared.


Here's the paragraph that I'm talking about.

For many athletes, just getting to "State" is the goal. Sometimes
those athletes forget what they're supposed to do once they get
there. That's not unlike what happens to many athletes who make
Olympic teams. There's the "I made the team" syndrome that affects
far too many athletes because being able to call oneself an "Olympian"
is such a huge accomplishment.

Thanks a lot,
Curtis
