Inside the book and game of CareerBall: As an athlete, you know about waking up nervous the day of a big event or practice and realizing that motivation to excel—to harness the excitement and energy for the day—is a fundamental key to success. You know that the drive to succeed often comes from inside yourself and not from any external influence. Fear is something that great athletes also face, but they overcome their fears and go out and compete anyway. Being motivated is about seeing the light, keeping your eyes on the prize and knowing why you want to make things happen. And when you reach success, you know it is not the time to rest on your laurels. You know the temptation to slack off starts when you’re feeling good about who you are and what you’ve achieved… and you know that it takes significant motivation to not fall victim to this temptation.
Make certain all your future employers know you possess this quality, and be prepared to cite personal examples where each quality was learned.
