Do You Have a Passion for Sport?
It’s not unusual to hear a sports commentator describe a sports performance as “inspired” or to describe a player or athlete as an “inspirational” performer, so what do they mean by that? What makes an inspired performance?
Inspirational people in sport can inspire other people to get involved in sport at grassroots level and they can also inspire good athletes to become great athletes at top level, but what makes them inspirational? More often than not, the people we describe as inspirational have achieved a dream that we also aspire to achieve. In fact, inspirational people are living their dreams, they have turned their dreams and ambitions into their realities.
So who inspires you in sport? And, here’s another thought for you, who do you inspire in sport? We all have the capacity to be inspired and be inspirational. The people in sport who inspire you may have successfully achieved an ambition that you share but your achievements may also be a source of inspiration for others who dream of achieving what you have already achieved – it’s all relative!
Inspiration comes from passion. Inspirational sportspeople have not only found something they feel passionate about, they have used the inspirational power of that passion to turn their sporting ambitions into their realities. To find your inspiration, you have to find the things you feel passionate about. Great soccer players don’t become great purely because they have great playing skills, they also have great passion for the game they play. Olympic champions don’t become champions just because they possess above average athletic ability, they become Olympic champions because they feel passionate about pushing themselves to their absolute limit and realising their true potential: they feel passionate about becoming the absolute best they can be. To find your success in sport, you must find your passion.
