If you’re a top player and a team leader, you probably receive little
or no negative feedback from your parents, coaches or teammates. On the
contrary, they probably rely on you at critical points during games and
lavish you with praise when you inevitably deliver.
Basking in the glow of such approval, you might easily think your
game is fine the way it is. Unfortunately, this mindset leads to
complacency and can slow your development as an athlete.
Jessica Mendoza, USA Softball Olympic gold medalist, stays on top of
her game by staying humble. “Despite all the accolades and all the
people telling you that you’re amazing, you still need to be able to
look at yourself in the mirror and be accountable and responsible for
your faults [in order] to get better,” she says. “When you lose your
humility, you lose your success.”
Even if you have the talent to dominate, remember that thousands of
athletes are shedding blood, sweat and tears every day to reach their
goals. Realize that you are not a perfect athlete, find your faults and
work on curing them. Even the best can get better.
