Dedication and motivation go hand in hand when helping to achieve and reach your limits. If i was not motivated I would not be as good of a swimmer as I am today.All those mornings doing lap after laps day after day, month after month takes a lot of motivation and determination. I think if I did not have as much motivation and dedication to my goals, dreams, and also the sport of swimming i do not think i would be as good as i m today. but There have been some times where i have said to my self " why do i do this, waking up in the at 4.30 every morning and swim," and I reply "because I want to be one of the best swimmers in state, country, or even the world!"
My favourite swimmer of all time Micheal Phelps is a good example of some one who was dedicated and very motivated and because of this massive motivation he has become to be the best swimmer in the world and also history. For example he was so dedicated to swimming he never took a day of not for his birthday, Christmas never.
When ever i see him swim i feel motivated to become as great as he is because that would be the greatest feeling ever and makes me want to work harder in every exercise i do to help get me closer and closer to his level.
You must be so dedicated and motivated to get up in the morning at 4.30 I find it hard to get out of bed at 7 to get to school but I guess if you had to get up to do something you love than I probley would get out of bed. To have someone to look up to is good to cause it makes you more motivated. Good luck
ReplyDeleteFun Fact
ReplyDeleteChlorine (pronounced /ˈklɔ(ə)riːn/ KLOR-een, from the Greek word 'χλωρóς' (khlôros, meaning 'pale green'), is the chemical element with atomic number 17 and symbol Cl. It is a halogen, found in the periodic table in group 17 (formerly VII, VIIa, or VIIb). As the chloride ion, which is part of common salt and other compounds, it is abundant in nature and necessary to most forms of life, including humans. In its elemental form (Cl2 or "dichlorine") under standard conditions, chlorine is a powerful oxidant and is used in bleaching and disinfectants, as well as an essential reagent in the chemical industry. As a common disinfectant, chlorine compounds are used in swimming pools to keep them clean and sanitary. In the upper atmosphere, chlorine-containing molecules such as chlorofluorocarbons have been implicated in the destruction of the ozone layer.
Keep going Todd, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I see you competing in the Olympics one day.
