Importance of Fall for Athletes: How to reap the rewards of your hard work

Today marks the first day of Fall.

A season many athletic enthusiasts think about weekends full of football and tailgating.

Today we are going to talk about:

How you can use the symbolism of Fall to not only help you in your game, but also to help you in the Larger Game of Life.

Fall is symbolic of:

During Spring

You plant the seeds.

During Summer

You water, nurture, and grow the seeds.

During Fall

You reap the harvest.

You are rewarded for all the hard work you’ve put in to planting and growing the seeds.

You are grateful for the bounty you have.

You share the fruits of your labor with those around you.

There are seasons when you plant your seeds … when you plan your workouts and training.

There are seasons when you water, nurture, and grow your seeds … when you put in the time, effort, and energy in the weight room and on the field.

There are seasons when you reap the harvest.

You reap the rewards of all the hard work you’ve put in:

You are confident because of all the hard work you’ve put in and grateful for the opportunity to let it loose.

And from the overflow of your playing, you pour into the lives of those around you.

You will have a dream, a vision, a Purpose.

There will be seasons when you plan out how you can realistically pursue your Purpose.

There will be seasons when you actively go out pursuing your Purpose.

And there will be seasons when you get to take hold of your Purpose:

You reap the rewards of all the time, attention, and energy you’ve put in
You are confident in the work you’ve done and grateful for the opportunity to take hold of it
You get to use the abundance of your platform to pour into the lives of those around you … to uplift, enhance, and inspire them

I wish you well on your journey of reaping the rewards of the hard work you’ve put in, and I look forward to seeing you next week.

Inspiring YOU every step of your way,

Kyle
