I started doing karate in about year 3. I really enjoyed it at the start, but I wasn’t that good. I did it for a few more years but started enjoying it less and less. The classes got harder and harder and I started to think that I couldn’t do them. I ended up hating having to do it, found it boring and eventually quit. When I did quit, I was about a year away from reaching my black belt. I had worked so hard for it for a few years but then gave up because it got difficult.

I started playing cricket a couple years ago and sucked at start. I kept getting ducks and not getting wickets. I kept working hard and started taking private sessions with a coach. It was really difficult at the start and I was barely pushing through. I kept pushing through and improved dramatically.
