The Concept of Dedication

 

            Regardless of a person's knowledge on sports, the word "dedication"" existed in our world today. A Division I college football star compared to a female teacher at the local school might seem to be distinct opposites, but not entirely. The concept of dedication exist between both of these individuals and is a quality that they both share. The concept of dedication is broad, but its significance lies behind the overall accomplished goals of those who value its power.
             Tim Notke once stated, "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard" (Top Quotes "). Hard work is a synonym to dedication as is commitment, devotion, and loyalty. These words are strong in aspects on life goals. If you want to achieve any goal that you strive out to succeed, these words should explain the journey. According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, dedication means having very strong support for or loyalty to a person, group, cause, etc. (Dedication").
             Tim Nottke's quote can be channeled into a topic of sports. He makes an outstanding reference that athletes can relate to. He expresses the importance of being dedicated when it comes to sports. Being I have played sports since I had the strength to walk, I can relate personal experience to what Tim Notke said. The occasion was the end of October as my junior year of football was coming to a rapid close. The season had ended and the thoughts of next year were already focused in my head. I was so centered on next year because it would be my senior year and the last time I would ever get the chance to play high school football. .
             Fresh in my mind, I did what I needed to do so I could prepare and be the best I could become for next season. I went to the weight room every opportunity I had so I could become stronger. I also did specific drills that would enhance certain qualities such as speed and agility. The season had arrived, and it was time to see how much all the time and hard work in the offseason had done.
