Throughout the season, revisit your reasons for participating in your sport. The season can be long, and it’s natural to wonder why you’re putting yourself through the physical and mental challenges. Many sports these days are year-round, making it even more important to assess your motivation levels.

Get to the core of why you’re playing your sport. Is it to win a championship? To set a record? To be the best you can be? Then, when you know why you’re playing, stay strongly connected to that purpose, especially when things are difficult. Remind yourself of this purpose every day. Some athletes post photographs of significant people in their lockers. Others tape up inspirational quotes.
