Goldminds: The 5 Superpowers of Performance
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

Passion, persistence, practice, patience and peace are all<\/span><\/strong>
\nwithin your grasp!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

By Wayne Goldsmith<\/span><\/p>\n

People often look at great athletes with admiration, respect and a sense of awe. It\u2019s as if they believe that great athletes have some sort of \u201csuperpower\u201d that gives them the ability to seemingly fly through the water effortlessly at remarkable speeds.<\/p>\n

Want to know the truth?<\/p>\n

Outstanding swimmers DO have superpowers! No, world-class swimmers can\u2019t spin webs or conjure up time portals, but they do have special powers: powers that give them seemingly super-human strength, speed, power and endurance.<\/p>\n

And the best thing of all?<\/p>\n

You, too, can have those same superpowers: Passion, Persistence, Practice, Patience, Peace: the 5 Superpowers of Performance.<\/p>\n

PASSION<\/span><\/strong>
\nDo what you love…then love what you do.
\nWhen you talk to great athletes and to high achievers in all walks of life, there\u2019s one message above all that comes through loud and clear: \u201cI do it because I love it.\u201d<\/p>\n

A former national head breaststroke coach\u2014a coach of world champions and Olympic medalists\u2014once said to me: \u201cThe secret to success isn\u2019t really a secret. Find out what you\u2019re passionate about, and work hard at it until you become the best at doing it. It doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s stamp collecting…or rock climbing…or cooking BBQs. If you find the one thing that inspires you\u2014the one thing that ignites the fire in your heart\u2014you\u2019ll persist at it until you realize your potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re passionate about backstroke…do backstroke. If you love sprinting 50 fly…then sprint 50 fly. If relays get you excited…swim relays. Over and over again, the most important lesson we learn from the most successful people in the world is to pursue your passion.<\/p>\n
