September is here! 🙌 I hope everyone had a great summer break.
☀️
This past month I attended three main training camps (one Winter Olympic, one Summer Olympic, and one Summer Paralympic). One common thread I noticed was the impact our actions have - not just on our own reputation, but on others as well.
☀️
I saw veteran athletes being role models for young rookies, and I also saw young athletes emulating the behaviours of their heroes, for better or for worse. One conversation had a few of us reiterating the well-known phrase “with great power comes great responsibility” (thanks, Stan Lee).
☀️
Our reputation is formed by our actions and can be long-lasting. What do you want your reputation to be? Living according to our values can help us to be proud of how others see us, and how we can hopefully leave a sport better than we found it when the time comes for a new chapter ahead.
