The four dimensions of this concept are as follows.
1. Being an athlete involves making sacrifices for the game
2. Being an athlete involves striving for distinction
3. Being an athlete involves accepting risks and playing through pain
4. Being an athlete involves refusing to accept limits in the pursuit of possibilities
Athletes follow these rules because they have been taught them at a young age. in order to be like all other athletes they follow these laws. These laws allow the athletes to have the most success possible. these laws become a norm and the athletes follow them on instinct Athletes have seen their peers operate by these laws time and time again so without thinking they do the same. everyone wants to fit in and if an athlete was to not operate by these laws they would be seen as different and not welcomed by the team.
I have experienced all 4 of these rules. i currently play football for the university and i go through this almost daily. I have made many sacrifices i have never gone out on a Thursday night and partied with my friends because i have football every Friday morning. i continue to work to get better everyday at practice so that i can help my team win. almost every game i will jam a finger our get a cleat to the shin, it is my job to fight through that pain and continue to play. i always believe that my team can win a game. it dose not matter if we are playing Oregon we believe that we can beat them.
