Advice

Back when I played soccer, my team was (not to say humbly) really good. We lost a single digit number of games in the years that I was there, and everyone on my team noticed the way we beat seemingly everybody. But this was because some advice that our coach gave us our first year as a team that we carried on through our 3 1/2 years together. He said "Always be the underdog". He said this because the underdog will always work the hardest to overcome their obstacles, and working as hard as we did is why we rarely lost (not to mention our awesome goalkeeper), because even though we were the favorites most of the time we worked harder than the teams we played. And this advice can be transferred to real life too. If you always work hard to overcome obstacles, there will be few that you cannot hurdle, and most of the time you will find that you do more than overcome these obstacles, you dominate them. That is why when I look back on the years of goalkeeping on that team, I always remember to approach things as the underdog so I can walk away as the victor.
