Personal Development

Our writer began this project two months ago with a goal of becoming an average high school athlete at 48. Did he make it?

The hard part of any task is what makes it worthwhile. Try to remember in those times that the improvement and the end aren’t the only things that matter. The persevering is, too.

Examine your life more holistically, confront the stories you’ve spun more honestly and reimagine your future more bravely.

The biggest lesson our writer has learned so far on his journey is that while the challenges he faces in training for the SAT for Sports might be unique, everybody is facing obstacles right now. And our shared struggles to overcome the challenges we can and endure the rest bind us together even while we remain physically apart.

Times of disruption are fertile ground for massive growth. The conditions are ripe for us to evolve, to start something new, to go inward and re-emerge stronger.

The world is shifting, and a lot of people need help now more than ever. Our writer is training for the SAT for Sports, an idea that started as a way to fight isolation during coronavirus, and if he can ask for help with such elementary things as ‘How do you run and jump?’ there’s help for you, too. You just have to ask.

Being successful doesn’t mean that you have to be constantly getting things done. Taking a step back periodically can be remarkably important and rewarding. We asked members of the Young Entrepreneur Council what they do to recharge over the weekend so they’re better prepared to perform during the week.
