“It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop” -Confucius
Preseason is nothing to joke about, especially during your first preseason as a college athlete. The physical demands are something that I was not prepared for as a Freshman. After a long stretch of failing all of my physical challenges, I was incredibly discouraged and unmotivated. Fast forward to now: I've beat all of my records. Never give up on the things that you want. Change is not instant. This quote reminds us that no matter how hard being a college athlete can be, if we keep working towards our goals, we will succeed.
