TO THE PARENTS, WHO DEDICATE SO MUCH TIME TO THEIR CHILDREN’S SPORT. A FRIEND ASKED ME.. Why spend so much money and time on your child to train tennis, karate, swimming, volleyball, football, basketball or any other sport????... I replied: Not paying for my son to train and play. You know what I'm paying for? - Paying for my son to learn to be disciplined. - Paying for my son to learn to take care of his body and mind. - Paying for my son to learn to work with others and be a good teammate. - I pay for my son to learn to deal with disappointment when he doesn't get what he expected, but he knows he has to work harder. - Paying for my son to learn to achieve his goals. - Paying for my son to understand that it takes hours and hours of hard work and training to win a championship / race / competition, and that success doesn't happen overnight. - Paying for the opportunity my son has to make lifelong friends. - Paying for my son to be on the playing field and not in front of the television. I pay for all the teachings that sport offers you: responsibility, humility, dedication, friendship, coexistence, etc.

This is Jim Thorpe. Look closely at the photo, you can see that he's wearing different socks and shoes. This wasn't a fashion statement. It was the 1912 Olympic...s, and Jim, an American Indian from Oklahoma represented the U.S. in track and field. On the morning of his competitions, his shoes were stolen. Luckily, Jim ended up finding two shoes in a garbage can. That's the pair that he's wearing in the photo. But one of the shoes was too big, so he had to wear an extra sock. Wearing these shoes, Jim won two gold medals that day. This is a perfect reminder that you don't have to resign to the excuses that have held you back. So what if life hasn't been fair? What are you going to do about it today? Whatever you woke up with this morning; stolen shoes, ill health, failed relationships, don't let it stop you from running your race. You can experience more in life if you'll get over the excuses and get on with living. You can have reasons or you can have results and you can't have both. #keeppounding
