Background

  Today is a day where you aren't inspired to really do anything, also known as a "lazy" day. However, not all lazy days could be considered to be pointless. So, I decided to describe what my blogs are all about. In English class, my lovely teacher decided she should revolutionize the thinking process of teens in school, or in her words "war against mediocrity".       Well, my take on it was to have an idea and make it worthwhile. The only bad part about it was, what was my topic going to be about? So I get to brainstorming and I think, "why are people afraid to fail or do poorly in something?" This question is still remaining, but it has led me to a problem with my team mates. Some of the girls on my team practice and work hard everyday, but when it comes down to a competition, they freak out and overthink everything. I've tried talking to them about relaxing and working on their breathing, but it didn't really seem to work. As a team, we've had meetings about confidence with our sports psychologist, Dr. Rob Bell, but I don't think they have sunk in to the minds of our underclassmen. So, it has come down to the beginning problem of a thought process. In my earlier posts i have mentioned confidence, inspiration, and a good mentality. These are all good things to use, but hasn't really proved anything of over coming the fear. Now, I'm going to the very beginning of researching what the definition of fear is. Also, here is a picture of how my optimism is the key to my success in this ongoing project.
