دانلود کتاب سرسختی ذهنی برای ورزشکاران جوان

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a professional athlete? Besides eating a healthy diet and getting to bed before midnight, what else comes with being a high-performing sportsman or woman? The fame that follows athletes often distracts us from the real sacrifices they make on their journey to the top. For instance, we might celebrate a football player signing a million-dollar endorsement deal but overlook the many hours of training and personal development they had to endure to be chosen for that kind of opportunity. Therefore, for the purpose of this book, we will explore the less glamorous side of being an athlete—the side that hardly anyone speaks about. We will look at inspirational stories of the world’s most talented sports players and learn lessons from how they were able to overcome obstacles. The truth is that tough times are what test the character of an athlete. For example, getting an injury, being rejected by a team, or being told that you are not good enough are some of the things that test the strength of an athlete’s character. What makes a strong character? If I were to describe a strong character in one word, it would be resilient. The word resilience comes from the Latin word resilire, which means “to jump back.” An athlete with a strong character has the ability to bounce back from setbacks and make a quick recovery. They don’t quit after the first, second, or third failure; instead, they look at failure as valuable feedback to use when adjusting their approach toward their goals.
