Let’s face it. Life can be mean and nasty; it can beat you down, no matter how tough you are. It’s not about how hard you hit back, it’s about getting up and still going forward. So have faith, build up your endurance and be persistent. Giving in is the same as giving up.

Going through adversity builds character. And we’re talking about football not just life. Hitting hurdles. Going through pain. Getting back on your feet and continuing – no matter what. All players face adversity at one time or another. Persistence will overcome everything. The pay-off is the result you’re after. So don’t stop and don’t give up. Never surrender and you’ll be unbreakable!
