Athlete Motivation

Pupils in our SSP have enjoyed reflecting on these motivational quotes and choosing their favourite ones.

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

It's not what you win but how you conquer it.

Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right.

If you have a talent, you have a responsibility to develop it, because you never know where it might take you.

When you feel like quitting remember...you've got more to give!

Your biggest challenge isn't someone else. It's the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells 'can't'.

Those afraid of pain will never know glory.

What you tell yourself everyday will either lift you up or tear you down.

The struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.

Success isn't given. It's earned. On the track, on the field, in the gym. With blood, sweat and the occasional tear.

Wake up determined. Go to sleep satisfied.
