Key factors to success in any sport.

With Albert Pujols having a poor season, I have chosen to branch off my blog again this week to go to the important factors so victory. In sports the most important factor is hard work. A talented athlete can lose out to a less talented athlete who works everyday if the talented athlete is lazy. Unfortunately hard work cannot always lead to success in sport such as baseball, but it will always lead to a successful life. Another important factor to success in sports is confidence. Theres a ideology that sports are 80% mental and 20% physical and that is so true. In my personal experience, when I know I think I'm gonna do well I'll perform better, and if I believe I'm going to go up and strike out, I will end up striking out. Just like in building construction, sports need a strong foundation, and a foundation of a team is strong leadership. A leader can be the coaches or other teammates that everyone knows work hard. A leader is the guy who's first at practice last to leave. One who picks up his teammates when others just beat them down. With strong leadership comes strong bonds within the team. I know this blog has covered a number of different topics, but it is what is on my mind when it comes to my recent baseball situation.
