Motivation: Wie ich lernte, die Disziplin im Training zu lieben
Um erfolgreich zu sein, bedarf es Fleiß – und weniger Talent, als viele meinen. Disziplin gilt als die Voraussetzung schlechthin, um Ziele zu erreichen. Doch wie umarmt man sie endlich?
The writer of this piece asserts that if he were naturally disciplined, there would be no need for this article. He would likely be sitting on a stage, playing his cornet. At 14 years old, he began his musical journey. He always hated practicing and avoided it altogether. His career aspiration, however, was to become a musician.
Whether it was the volunteer fire brigade band, the local school orchestra, a big band, or a funk band, diligent practice was the key to improvement. Faster progress was made through consistent practice, focusing on tonal exercises, technical drills, warm-ups, and breathing techniques. Everything, except for the music itself, seemed to be the case.
It continued this way until the trumpet teacher asked if he had any other professional aspirations in mind. This is what he does now. Discipline, discipline, discipline. Learning an instrument requires practice. Discipline. The endless stream of parents reminding their children to practice at least 30 minutes daily knows exactly what I mean.
Sports training is a form of training. And I remain steadfast in my commitment: no strength training. I should. I hate it. I don't do it.
