Brands are developed overtime. Here are three attributes sports have given me to craft my brand as a business student.
“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” – Michael Jordan
1) Confidence
Confidence Gives You Determination
As an athlete confidence is a must. You need to have confidence in everything you do within your respective sport. You need to learn to take the shot, swing for the gates, or run like there’s no tomorrow. Confidence is shown in everything you do. Today, I have no issue with confidence in the classroom. I am confident in my ability to deliver results. I am confident to present my work. I am confident in all my work. Confidence is what drives my determination to be successful.
2) Determination
Determination Drives Passion
Determination is what drives passion. When I played basketball, the determination to get to the playoffs is what fueled our game. The determination to pass the other team in a relay race is what drove us to work harder together. Determination was only present when passion is in the hearts of the team. In the classroom, determination to be the best is present in nearly every class. In our teams, we must be determined to compete against other teams and deliver the best results we can. We must be determined that we will end with the best project in the class. Determination is what drives a team.
3) Passion
Passion Drives Results
Without passion, your team never plays at full potential. When you are on the court, all team members must have passion with what they are doing. You must play with your heart on your sleeve and show how much you are willing to give for the sport. When I played sports, I was very emotional and passionate with everything I did. When I was mad, it was because I cared. When I was happy, it was because I cared. When I went crazy on the refs, it was because I cared. Passion is an indicator of driving results and putting everything you can into what you are doing. As a business student, I must be passionate about the area I am studying. If I’m not passionate I can drive results for my work. I must be passionate to graduate with a business degree.
