Every champion has fallen down. Every champion got back up.
๐น Getting Back Up: Resilience for Young Athletes
Do you know what Michael Jordan, Simone Biles, and LeBron James all have in common? They all had days where they failed. They all had moments where they felt like quitting. And they all got back up.
When something hard happens in a game โ you miss a shot, you make a mistake, you fall down โ your brain has two choices: stay down, or bounce back.
The best athletes in the world have a superpower called 'short memory.' That means when something bad happens, they shake it off fast and focus on the next play.
It's totally okay to feel upset when things go wrong. But the faster you can say 'next play' and move forward, the better athlete you will become.
Key Takeaway
"Champions don't never fall. They just get up faster than everyone else."
Think of a time something went wrong in a game. What did you do? What could you do differently next time?
