BECOMING A SUCCESSFUL ATHELETE

Many athlete go through their sporting career without ever reaching their full potential. Many realize that being a successful athlete requires more than just practicing the necessary skills for their sport.

How is Success defined? success is the ability of the athlete to achieve a high level of performance every time they are in a competitive situation. It is the ability to consistently produce their best performance day after day and to continually improve. It is also ability to maintain a high level of performance when faced with various challenges whether from within or from an external source.

Being successful means being able to consistently perform each required skill at a level is demanded of the athlete when in battle. Success is achieving goals and then formulating longer term goals to be achieved.


1.First of all the athlete should set goals and know where he or she wants to gain within their sport. Without goals, you have nothing to achieve and progress. These goals need to be a specific to your sport and realistic. Set goals for the short, intermediate and long term.

2.Be disciplined in everything you do. Be disciplined in arriving early for practice. Having your equipment ready and in working order, following through on your designated tasks for each day, and setting the standard for others around you to follow your high expectations.

3.Self-believe is essential. You have to believe in what you are doing. Be honest with yourself and assess how your are going with achieving your goals. This is the most important or key to become a successful athlete.

4.You must have fun and enjoy what you are doing. You have to love what you are doing. If you don't, then you need to evaluate and assess the reasons for being involved in the sport. Playing, training and competing should be fun even when faced with difficult challenges.

5.You understand the importance of rest and recovery. The athlete understands that they need to take periodic breaks from their sport. While on these breaks they assess their goals and look forward to returning to playing again.

7.Self-realization is simply being the best athlete you can be. Your success will be unlimited once you believe in yourself and what you are doing. You are in control of your own destiny and you must control what you say, what you do, and how you react both on and off the playing field.

HOW TO MANAGE YOUR TIME TO SUCCESS IN ALL ASPECTS

1.Prepare yourself first:-
   Taking 30 minutes of your time to fix yourself something to eat and relax. Then make a list of the tasks you    need to accomplish. But before you can manage your time, you need to know what it is you must manage.    A list of tasks, from the mundane to the critical, will help you get a handle on what needs to get done.

• Assign realistic priorities to each task:

            Priority 1 :due today by 6pm

            Priority 2:due tomorrow by 6pm

            Priority 3:due by the end of the week

            Priority 4:due  during next week

• You can further prioritize tasks within this grouping by adding a decimal place. For example, a priority 1.0 task needs to be done immediately, whereas a Priority 1.5 task simply needs to be done by the end of the day

2.Balance your effort. Work on small portions every day of work that will be due by the end of the week,        starting with the most important tasks first.

• Do today's tasks. Concentrate on what you do,do not allow yourself to lose focus. Then move on to the next daily task. Once today's tasks are completed, mark them as such, and proceed to tomorrow's tasks.
• When tomorrow's tasks are complete, work on the other tasks due by the end of the week, and when those are complete, work on the tasks due early next week. A small portion of each is better than one huge, laborios task and will keep your time managed more efficiently and reduce stress and eliminate burn out.
• Make one of your final daily tasks the completion of tomorrow task list. Each day should be ended with a new task sheet for tomorrow to keep you on track

3.Focus on your most productive time of day. Some people work better in the morning, and some are more    focused in the evening. For me if I play golf, I would prefer to play in the morning so I will give 100%            because in the morning your body still fresh to do activities.

4.Take a break.Clear your mind and refresh yourself to refocus.

• Decide whether on 5,10 or 15 minute break and stick to that decision.
• Breaks provide incentive by giving you something to look forward to having 

5.Keep track of your progress.

• Cross things off the list as they are completed.
• You feel more relieved and relaxed just by getting through the daily tasks. Not only will you be getting things done, finishing tasks will give you a sense of accomplishment and spur motivation.

6.Leave time for fun.While there are times when we just need to power through a large project, it's important    to give yourself time to let loose. Not only will it refresh your mind, it's good for your body too.

7.Sleep for 6-8 hours every night. Getting the proper amount of sleep will help keep you alert and energetic,    able to think clearly, and function at a high level.

NEVER EVER GIVE UP

The genius thing that we did was, we didn't give up."- Jay- z

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn"- Harriet Beecher Stowe.

• You never know how close you are to victory or success, so keep pushing.

Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way. And don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines."- Richard M.Nixon

HOW TO GENERATE POWER IN GOLF SWING

Golfers seek to increase swing power for the practical reason that hitting the ball farther can help lower your score. Power also has a psychological benefit in golf. If you consistently hit the ball past your opponent, he may begin to swing harder in an effort to keep up and therefore lose accuracy on his shots. However there are a few steps to generate power in golf swing, that is:-

1.Use practice drills to increase clubhead speed. The instructions book "Private Lessons" suggests swinging a golf club shaft without a clubhead attached. This lighter "club" will speed up your muscles reaction time and help you learn how to maximize swing speed at the bottom of the swing right at the impact.

2.Experiment with your feet alignment. In his book "My Golden Lessons", golf legend Jack Nicklaus writes that small adjustments in how you position your feet can help get more body coil on the backswing, generating additional power for the downswing. Try turning your right foot out more at address. Nicklaus also recommends a stance with the left foot turned out to 45-degree angle and the right foot slightly forward to create an open stance. He believes these adjustments helped him uncoil his hips faster.

3.Brace the right knee. Flex your right knee at address and apply pressure to the ground on the inside of the right foot during the backswing. This creates resistance that is released on the downswing. Swaying to the outside of the right foot is a major of power loss.

4.Creates a wider swing arc. Nicklaus recommends full extension of the club away from the body on the backswing not merely picking the club up with the hands. He accomplishes this by starting the clubhead, hands,arms and shoulders moving back in one piece, slowly, for the first few feet of the swing. To achieve full extension, he moves his arms as far away from his body as he can without his head. He also strives to extend fully through the ball after impact.


5.Lead with your feet on the downswing. Start the downswing by replanting the left hell, then rolling the right and left ankles toward the target line. This will pull the knees in the same direction and facilitate a powerful hip rotation. Nicklaus discovered that foot action is key to creating the leverage needed to get the clubhead moving at maximum speed at contact.

6.Develop a stronger release. Two components of a powerful downswing are the rotation of the right forearm over the left, and the unhinging of the wrists, which were hinged during the backswing. Maintain the cocked position of the wrists as long as you can, until the club is almost at impact

HISTORY THE GAME OF GOLF

Almost all moderns sports have origins in earlier games, going as far back as thousands of year- golf is no different. Most modern games then eventually developed into a more recognizable version in the last 200 years or so. In this respect golf differs from its sporting counterparts. Though golf's origins lie in the ball and stick games of ancient times, the modern game of golf dates as far back as the 1400s in Britain and more specifically Scotland. In its early days, Scottish kings- James 2 and James 4- actually outlawed the game, believing the popularity of the sport conflicted with military training. However, King James 4 himself became enamored with the sport by the 1500s, and in the early 1500s, in a short peace with England, the game became popular there as well, though when the two countries were back at war with each other, golf receded in England again. However, when James 4 of Scotland took the throne in England in 1603, the game came to England to stay.

The rise of the sport was helped considerably by its popularity among the ruling class. Mary, Queen of Scots often played, her clubs carried by students she called "cadets". It is believed this is the origin of the word "caddie". James I appointed both official golf club and golf ball makers in the 1600s, while also lifting the ban on Sunday golf. James 2 organized the first international match, between England and Scotland. In both countries, the game continued as a sport not of one class, but of all classes- still, of course, those classes did not mingle on the courses. The courses back then were not always as seen in today's sport; golf in the 17th century was not as formally arranged, with little organization regarding the number of holes or even official rules. Formal golf courses did exist, however :clubs at Gosford Blackheath (a seven hole course near London) and St. Andrew's were regularly attended by the upper classes and nobility. Blackheath was founded as early as 1608, while St. Andrews Royal and Ancient Club was founded in 1754; yet St. Andrews's lays claim as the cradle of golf. Lower classes played on open land; early illustrations of the sport show men playing among herds of sheep.

The biggest obstacle to golf being played by lower classes was the price of the golf ball. The early balls were made of feather and leather. In their earliest form, they were extremely difficult to make, and the makers could cost as much as 2s6d per ball (worth 9.5 pound sterling today, or about $14). Balls became slightly cheaper to make by the mid- 18th century, but would still cost too much to make golf balls accessible to the lower classes. Early golf clubs were made of materials similar to today;s club; wood and iron. However, the biggest difference between old golf clubs and modern ones was the use. Originally, irons were used only for getting out of difficult sports: ditches, ruts and similar hazards. Irons were rarely used for approaches, and woods were used almost exclusively in most parts of the game. Today, while iron clubs are still used for hitting out of tough spots (those clubs are called wedges), irons are also used for the approach, a development that did not occur until the mid- 1800s.

While golf thrived in the U.K in the 1800s, and began to spread in the latter half of the century outside Britain's shores, golf in the U.S was barely catching on. Golf had arrived, at best guess, at the tail end of the 18th century, primarily in the northeastern United States. For the vast majority of the 19th century, golf had a very difficult time gaining popularity in the U.S. The nation was busy first with building itself and its Civil War; when Americans did preoccupy themselves with sports they turned primarily to horseacing, boxing and, in the second half of the century, Baseball. Golf in fact, took hold in Canada before the U.S the first golf club on record in Canada was the Royal Montreal Golf Club, formed in November of 1873. It would be fifteen years before the first golf course was built in the U.S in February, 1888, a man named John Reid, a transplanted Scotsman, after ordering a set of golf clubs from Tom Morris back at St. Andrews, gathered together a small group of friends and set up three holes in a cow pasture in Yonkers, New York, the first recorded golf course in the United States. After playing through that summer, the group formed the St.Andrews Club of Yonkers in November, the first golf club in America. In 1889, a group of Englishmen in Kentucky established the Middlesboro Club there, and by 1894, there were nine more golf courses laid out in the U.S, with Chicago being the first site of a golf course off the East Coast and the country's first 18 hole course. Early on in American golf's history, Chicago became a key location by 1900, thre were 26 golf courses around Chicago alone. Towards the very end of the 1800s, golf had increased in popularity in the U.S to the point that many players began calling for an organizing body. In December 1894, delegates from golf clubs in Yonkers, Brookline (Massachusetts), Newport (Rhode Island), Southampton (New York) and Chicago met to form the Ametaur Golf Association of the United States, later the U.S Golf Association (USGA) with Theodore Havemeyer (of the Newport club) as its first president. Within a year, the association had organized the first prize was $150 ($3,950 today) more than the British Open awarded the same year.
