Heroes can be found in remote fields

Your favorite sport is the one that speaks directly to your heart. You might not even remember when you picked it out, as if it were always there waiting for you. You might have chosen it by watching it on TV or when your father or your uncle took you to the stadium.

But how difficult is it for you to find the ideal sport that is best for you, that excites you to the point of wanting to be directly involved by playing it yourself, even if it’s just for recreation?

A sport that will make you get up earlier in the morning so that you keep fit, a sport that will keep you awake all night so you can watch a series of championship games live or that will keep you away from a night out with your friends?

It all depends.

Be attuned with your heart

Maybe the first time you scored in basketball or you kicked a ball in soccer, you instantly knew that you had found it and you kept coming back to it with the first chance you got, back to the same basket or the goalpost. But maybe your explorations had driven you to sports that have no National Teams or World Cups, and the only people who talk about it are your teammates. You are almost sick and tired every time you have to explain the rules of the game to all those who ask you (usually out of courtesy!) not to mention how concerned you are that if your team breaks up it will be extremely difficult to set it up again. In other words, you are an everyday hero!

Act upon your passion

By differentiating yourself from the main stream and by choosing not to follow the well worn path you have made a conscious decision that requires certain values: courage, power, honesty (primary to yourself). Your choices also imply your need to constantly improve yourself and to search for the best part in yourself. Regardless whether your fun clubs are almost nonexistent, or you coach is in fact just a series of videos from youtube, or none of your friends understands why you insist on devoting Wednesday evenings to a sport that most people have never heard about, you remain a hero.

Even if you haven’t discovered you own special sport, yet, the only thing that keeps you from being an everyday hero is the distance between sitting on your couch and going out on the field. Never hesitate to try out new thingsor to learn exoticsports. Face every challenge as a fascinating adventure. Every game has its own story to tell and all you have to do is to discover it!

Besides heroes are not only the winners on the pedestals.

In reality, the hero is the part of ourselves that we sometimes hesitate to discover. Maybe the time has arrived?
