Q.Q.C

"A flashlights last only so long, a star is in the sky forever."-Keyshawn Johnson

Can this type of mindset apply not only to sports but other subject such as math and English?

I really enjoyed reading this article, I never knew the background stories such as Michael Jordan and Babe Ruth. I would have never of known that Jordan started off as a player who didn't make it in his college basketball team. I always assumed that professional players are just really good. Jordan's story inspired me because I'm sure when he didn't make the cut he probably thought of giving up and that he would never make fulfill his dream. I always get discouraged when I'm bad at something such as math or tennis. Its very easy to just give up.

I also liked how Mia Hamm answered that her tip for being good at soccer was having a strong mindset. When looking at sports people only look at the physical ability of the player but its the strong minds that really win in the end.
