As “professionals” we are to be leaders. There is no “cookie cutter” remedy for curing a lethargic individual. As Arthur stated, being available as absolutely possible is part of reaching others for fitness. I will add that leading by example is equally the best course of action for inspiring and encouraging others. Having been involved in multiple sports from an early age and even to this day, I have found the old adage “actions speak louder than words” reigns true. Putting forth a concentrated effort will provide a song that others will want to join in singing. Be consistent in practicing what you preach.

I have played college football for four year now and have experienced many of the same things you mentioned with my teammates. Always coming up with excuses for why they did not do this or that instead of just handling business and getting it done. So this problem is everywhere in our field, whether it is working out for health or training for a certain event. I feel that at the end of the day it comes down to whether the individual has the personal drive to participate in whatever form of exercise they choose. The want has to be there. All we can do as the professionals is come up with new ideas, make them as available as possible, and keep the selection of options as broad and numerous as workable with our specific situation.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02269442558085245042noreply@blogger.com
