Here we are again, working in groups to answer the question about elite athletes. We came up with some great ideas and some very intertesting discussions took place. We worked in the library on the internet and just brainstormed everyones ideas. Here are the points we came up with. Elite athletes need the following
a. Physical and mental ability to train and complete.
b. Opportunities to compete against those who are equal or better than themselves.
c. Dedication to the training and
competition.
d. They need to be fit and healthy - good diet - regular flexibillity assessment.
e. They should havea long term goal to strive towards and the confidence to achieve the best.
f. They need emotional support from family and friends.
g. They need to remain focused and show perserverence and SPOTRSMANSHIP.
h. They need to have some sort of sponorship, as it is very expensive to compete at atop level.
We feel these attr!
ibutes
are essential to being an elite athlete.
