Activity journal entry #9 / Always in the grind

How do I motivate myself to stay active? I motivate myself by always working hard since like this the feeling of knowing you are doing well not only in school but also in your team feels very good. Another way I stay motivated is knowing if I finished all my work I will be able to do the things I really like to do this makes me be more organic and it keeps me motivated. What new challenges have I taken on when doing this activity? Some new challenges are being 10 times better than want I am now. I took the role of the captain, for me, this means I have to work harder than everyone in the team and outside. Not only this I have to be pilar for my team in the good times and in the bad times. The captain role is someone that always gives his 100% and more I want to be a captain that makes everyone proud and someone that expresses himself by playing soccer. What is the value of this sport or activity for me? The values of this sport are things not only that I consider important but the things that pass captains and players have tough me in the past. I keep those values with me and I try to teach them and show them to the next generation, so like this, they keep remembering when I leave, In the past I did not understand this but not I do, now I understand what I have to do. Teaching values such as hard work, passion, dedication, determination, friendship, and the most important for me humbleness and never giving up. Are there ever feelings of doubt or wanting to skip practice? If so how did I move through them? I never have feeling of wanting to skip practice I have play when being sick, when having a lot of work and when being hurt and injure. I always try to think that I have to be strong and that if I don't keep moving forward I won't reach my full potential. And to add one no matter how bad I feel soccer always makes me feel better. What are some things that I found out about myself that I didn’t know before? Do I like these traits? Some things that I found myself doing are being a leader and the most important an example for younger kids. In the past, I was a person that would hate being the leader and an example maybe because I was showing my things like talent and effort and it was always about myself. Now I understand that I needed to go throw that in order for me to become the captain I am today.
