Keep working hard and get every little detail right because all these little things add up to your performance, guest speaker at the 2018 Fiji Sports Awards Fiji Airways Flying Fijian coach John McKee said at the FMF National Gymnasium last Friday night.
In his address, Mr McKee encouraged all sportsmen and women to keep thriving for the best in whatever sport they represented the country in.
“Keep working hard and get every little detail right because all these little things add up to your performance and when you get to bigger competitions or when you get to the finals you will succeed,” Mr McKee said.
“Whatever sport you’re in, at the end of the day everyone would want to win and it depends on how hard you work towards the final outcome,”
He said it was important for athletes to keep their focus on the sport that they were playing and make little improvements every day.
“Set your targets right and maintain a clear focus on the year that is ahead of you as an athlete,”
“As coaches and administrators think about the various sporting seasons and all the things, you’re going to do along the way to prepare your team. Everyone needs to work really hard to make sure that every little step along the pathway you’re making small gains because that will result in the success at the end of road.
“So, at any training programme you focus on getting small gains as it will make a greater impact at for your end result.”
He said, “Sport offers a great life lesson, things you learn from sport can go with you for your whole life whether its about respecting the rules, working hard, setting goals and working towards them all of those are required for a successful sport,”
“Hence, I believe in a country like Fiji, sports teach us a greater life lesson.
“Everyone is an achiever in sports, everyone works hard in sports and everyone thrives to win, being a world champion or being a great man on the field begins with you as an individual.
“The way you set your focus, prepare and look after yourself is very important as a successful athlete.”
