Quote by Haruki Murakami

“Who says there's anything wrong with that? If you're not bothering anybody right now, then so what? Who knows anything beyond right now anyway? You want to speak the Kansai dialect, then you should. Go for it. You don't want to study for the entrance exam? Then don't. Who's saying you have to? It's your life. You should do what you want & forget about what other people think.”

We’re talking about the athletes who are willing to put themselves out there, who can handle failure and criticism, take risks, rarely panic, and enjoy the challenge of getting stuck in. Developing self-confidence is an important first step in becoming a brave athlete.”
