Fem Athletes: Strategies For A Long Term Sports Or Life Career

Youthful yet long-term in plying their trades with creativity, perseverance and success, the female sports world is filled with stories of female athletes who are still around long after others have retired.

There’s the great Serena Williams in tennis with a professional career that began on September 24, 1995 and she is still going strong and currently ranked number 2 in the world over 20 years later.

Oksana Aleksandrovna Chusovitina is a world and Olympic level gymnast who has competed for the Soviet Union, Uzbekistan, and Germany.

Ms. Chusovitina’s career as an elite gymnast has spanned more than a quarter century. She won the USSR Junior Nationals in 1988 and began competing at the international level in 1989, before many of her current rivals were even born. She is the only female gymnast ever to compete in seven Olympic Games, and is one of only two female gymnasts to compete at the Olympics under three different national teams: the Unified Team in 1992; Uzbekistan in 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2016; and Germany in 2008 and 2012.

“Mere longevity is a good thing for those who watch Life from the side lines. For those who play the game, an hour may be a year, a single day’s work an achievement for eternity.”… Helen Hayes

5 Successful Career Growth Strategies

By Ang Roberts

Over the years I have learned a lot about achieving my own career goals. I have been extremely fortunate to work for and develop my own growth within some of the largest, most well-known and well reputed companies in the world (such as IBM) – as well as small startups and “mom and pop” shops. Throughout my tenure as a professional, I have been asked to coach and mentor many individuals as they progress throughout their career.

Today I would like to introduce 5 strategies that I believe will effectively guide you in growing your own career to the next level. After all, wouldn’t it be helpful to know how to leverage your personal belief system in order to create strategies to whip your “career self” into shape so you can work towards achieving your targets?

1) Create a daily list showing your successes/failures. Not only should you extol your successes, but you should closely analyze what you did to accomplish them. Were your daily successes accidents or the results of method and discipline? With the same scrutiny, you must also evaluate your failures so you can learn from them. Study what caused the failures, what you could have done differently to affect a different outcome, and put action plans into place to ensure you don’t repeat those same mistakes.

2) Set real goals. Focusing on setting goals which are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and have real due dates is imperative when it comes to career growth. These goals should stretch you but be so desirable that accomplishing these goals will and give you a feeling of extreme fulfillment. Remember that almost achieving your goals is a failure, so be sure to write your goals down in a way that indicates you will absolutely reach them, using phrases like “On or before December 31, 2016 I will… “Then read those goals daily in order to stay focused. Establishing a well thought out and well executed goal strategy is critical if you want to grow within your career.

3) Create a plan to reach your goals. I agree with Geoffrey James of inc.com in a statement he made in his article 8 Beliefs That Make You More Resilient “… if I don’t take action, I will fail by default… “¹. So build an action plan which will provide a step by step guideline for you to obtain your goals. And then, simply execute!

4) Always, always focus on doing the right thing. Napoleon Hill stated: “I fully realize that no wealth or position can long endure unless built upon truth and justice, therefore I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects.” ²

5) You can be afraid but do it anyway.

John Wayne said “Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway.”
Winston Churchill stated “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
Theodore Roosevelt declared “It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.”
And we believe: “Success is just a result. Failure is just a result. Fail as fast as possible so you can learn what not to do.”

Investing in a Lifetime of Success,

Angela Roberts
