The Will To Carry On
Challenges of Young Athletes
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
When children see the life they want, they incur high hopes and big dreams. They then move gracefully through their childhood without any doubt in their minds that what they dream as a child will become their reality as an adult. Many children whose world revolves around sports proclaim their childhood dream as wanting to become a professional athlete, but statistics prove only a few will succeed past the cutoffs that will be implemented upon their horizons. For the children who do not make it, from grade school to college, how do they think and what do they feel when they realize their dream will not come true? Whatever their thoughts and feelings, I believe in spite of their disappointments they can still be successful if they have the will to carry on.
