Perseverance is key for any sports player looking to make it to the top.
For example, I enjoy pole vaulting.
When things get tough, remember that adversity and challenge should be accepted head-on with a positive attitude - it's the only way you'll be able to push through and eventually reach your goals.
Keep in mind that practice makes perfect and set yourself achievable targets, no matter how small.
Don't give up when faced with setbacks; instead remember why you chose this path in the first place. With enough hard work, dedication and perseverance you can achieve great things!
