Aakanksha Shinde

"You can motivate by fear and you can motivate by reward, but both those methods are only temporary, the only lasting thing is self-motivation."

-Homer Rice


Sports is not just about winning or losing, it's all about being on with the game, striving hard to achieve a goal, being focused and so much more. It is very easy to criticize a player for his single mistake but it takes a big heart to appreciate his efforts and the sacrifices he has made to achieve his current position.


'The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is vital.'

- Joe Paterno


Being a successful sportsperson is not an easy job. It takes a lot of determination, self-motivation, focus, burning desire, iron will power and the ability to accept failure. For a renowned player, it takes nerves of steel to perform his best in front of a huge audience and lead the team under high-pressure circumstances. It is very necessary to be optimistic in order to succeed in any field.


'It is more difficult to stay on top than to get there.'

- Mia Hamm


It takes lots of efforts to maintain the top position than the efforts needed to get there, as once you become a topmost player and start representing your country, you don't just play for yourself, you play for numerous youngsters who look up to you as their inspiration. A lot of countrymen have expectations from you and as it is said - With great power comes responsibility, and it is true indeed.

In order to be a successful sportsperson you need to have a competitive spirit and learn from your mistakes because every time you improve your mistake, you grow.


‘The only person who can stop you from achieving your goal is you.’

- Jackie Joyner Kersee
