Many people have had their lives changed or saved only because they had a sports hero to look up to. It takes more than just talent to become an accomplished athlete.
Passion is also your heart telling you to do what you love. If you play with passion you really learn more about the sport. You need passion to play the game well! Also, a great team player needs to have a positive attitude, because if not, it can cause a loss or a drop in others motivation and enthusiasm. For example, at one of my games our goalie went into the game with a bad attitude, and that caused everyone to become upset and lose motivation.
Dedication includes the commitment to excellence through sacrifice and taking action. For college athletes this means sacrificing social time spent drinking and partying in order to commit to their craft.

By drilling trust and faith in the system of coaching, often coaches can achieve more because they players are willing to do what it takes to win the game. Coaches must slowly build confidence with eventually attain the goal. I think that Coach K is a prime example of a transactional leader.
They do this in a positive way when they show good sportsmanship. Professional athletes know it is wrong to lose their temper and throw or damage things, yell at referees or umpires, or even fight with other players. Most of the time, they are able to control themselves because they know how important it is, both to the game and to their reputation. The fans that pay money to come see these players come to see a good athletic performance, not to see an athlete throw a spoiled brat fit. Everything an athlete does on or off the field or playing arena is judged by the viewing public, and this includes children.

It’s important that the NCAA begin to pay college athletes because without college sports, everything would be changed drastically for the NCAA as well as schools across the country.

Let’s face it, sports are a staple in today’s world. Because of this, I believe that athletes deserve to get paid as much as they do today. One reason I strongly believe that athletes deserve the kind of pay they get today is because of the role they play in the community. I think that so many people have the mindset that athletes just throw or kick a ball around every day of their lives and that’s not the case.
