Preparing for the season

Preparing for the season is a lot of hard work for an athlete. Athletes have to be mentally and physically ready for the season to begin. They have to train with their team, go to the weight room to gain muscle and strength, and eat healthy to keep the body strong. Most of them have personal trainers to help them which cost thousands of dollars. For example: Football players work mostly on their upper body for the strength to tackle, basketball player and track stars work on the lower body which is the quads, calf’s, hamstring, and etc for the speed.  Team practices also have a lot to do with preparing for the season. Doing drills to running sprints up and down the court or field. There are plenty of things to do to help them succeed.

Education Atlas and I quote said “Professional athletes usually spend a considerable amount of time training and practicing. For example, basketball players work on their shot and dribbling skills. Ice skaters could skate for a large portion of the day. Playing organized sports while young can help athletes develop their skills”.  Athletes study films to look at competitors they play, have curfew and rules, and spend about 40 hours working on their shooting, throwing, running, handling and etc. After the train and practicing with the team, preseason starts. Preseason games help the coaches see who’s been working hard, how the plays are working, which athlete they should cut, and to ready for the season. Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, John Wall, they train all year round with their game to get better every day. That’s why they get paid more because how good they are. Michael Jordan is the best athlete in the world. He worked day and night on his game. He always picked up a ball and dribbled and shot every day and never gave up. He inspires me and others to never give up on what they love and just work harder and harder and you will thrive at the end.
