Quotes From Famous Athletes About Achieving Success

Success in life has many paths and it usually involves hard work and some sacrifice.  Successful athletes embody these principles and more.  Like in business, getting to the top isn't easy but it's very possible as long as you put in the effort and set your goals high enough.

There is no athlete who achieved success who said it was easy or a piece of cake. It is the same with life.  If someone sets a goal high enough, they will reach a greater level of achievement.  Nobody ever won a championship or created a successful business by setting a goal of just showing up.

Hard work and passion can lead to great things.  Put in the time and effort, and, most importantly, believe in yourself. The results will be well worth it.

Like Hank Aaron said, keep swinging.
