ELITE ATHLETE SECRETS

SECRETS OF THE ELITE ATHLETE 

Taken from a Fastpitch News article titled 

“The elite athlete can be put into three categories; the one percent, three percent, and the ten percent.

“The one percent are those people who are actually gifted… coupled with a drive, work ethic, and good coaching...

“The three percent… have better than average athleticism and have reached this level through dedication and hard work.

“The ten percent group is… made up of good athletes, not always great or gifted ones. Individuals in this group tend to be very goal-oriented and set high marks for themselves… Often you see their development and growth as an athlete over a longer period of time.

“… being an elite athlete is a lifestyle. It is something you live and breathe.

“Five things you can do to easily separate yourself...

“WORK on your core, agility, and overall health. This includes daily workouts, healthy eating habits, proper sleep and increasing your flexibility.

“BECOME A BETTER STUDENT: Know the sport that you play… Also, work on your grades. Your grades can open a lot of doors.

“SET GOALS: Write them down!

“PRIORITIZE: create a lifestyle where becoming better a little every day is the priority...

“REPETITION: Get reps in, lots of them.”
