    Practice, Practice, Practice! Try to practice your sport(s) for an hour a day. Play with family and friends for more fun. Find ways to improve. For example, if you play volleyball, see how many good serves you can serve in one minute.
    • Remember that practice makes close to perfect. Not always perfect. People use this saying all the time, and guess what. They are wrong. Nothing is perfect, but there is doing anything and everything to the best of your abilities. If you practice, however, you will get better.

    Have all of the proper equipment needed for each sport or hobby. Not having the correct gear can lead to injury. So please, stay safe. Sure, wearing a helmet while biking may not be the coolest thing in the world, but hey, all of the professionals do, right?

    Don't let any obstacle stand in your way of reaching your goals. Anyone who says you can't is only jealous of how hard you are able to work and then succeed. They wish that they could be successful, too.

EditTips

  • Make a training routine and stick to it. It takes practice to become better at anything and if you make it a daily habit to practice, you will improve.
  • Eat and exercise properly.
  • Always set goals.
  • Make sure that you are willing to work this hard to reach the end.
  • If you fall during a race, get up and carry on. Everyone will clap hands for you just because you didn't give up.
  • Keep your priorities set.
  • Have a personal best to beat at everything.
  • Take care of your body and eat little snacks before and after events to keep your energy up. Drink water instead of sports drinks. It's way better for you.
