Some time ago I was back in Sweden playing golf with my husband and a friend of his who is a former tour professional.
It was a relaxed, friendly round but both my husband and I were naturally eager to pick up any tips we could to help improve our own games. After we finished we were having a drink and we started to talk about the difference between a good player and a great player.
I’ve done sport my whole life and I was an elite junior. As a physiotherapist in Switzerland I worked with and trained many top professionals. But our friend’s view surprised me.
“You’ll never be great at any sport as long as you expect it to be fun.”
We laughed but there was a semi-dark seriousness to his statement and I’ve thought about it a lot since.
Life is supposed to be fun. Not always. True second order achievement often requires first order sacrifice. You need to stay home and study to get the degree. You sweat in training to avoid bleeding in battle. But you want to love what you're doing or what's the point?
The real difference between the best players of course is the 0.1% extra dedication and discipline they put into their whole lives - their training, their diet, their mental preparation. Everything. And that usually comes from obsession.
The reality for the rest of us though is
doing sport is supposed to be fun. We all have goals, but for most of us our best, most satisfying results will come from doing things we enjoy in the first order, and that make us feel good.
Pros are paid to win and that’s it, and their training is structured accordingly. Our objectives should be about development and fun.
If you’re not in great shape right now and you’re starting to exercise again then start slowly, and take the time to enjoy the big improvements you make when you’re starting off a lower base.
If you’re fit again then take care to set realistic goals for yourself. A short reality check this time of year can drastically reduce the chances of re-injury.
Above all, remember to have fun - your body will thank you for it.
Have a great start to 2023!
