ReplyDeleteAn elite athlete means who has super willpower and talent. In my opinion a person need not only gift when he or she born but also need has a lot of physical training like to repeat one action thousands times or get countless injuries. It also need mental ability because everyone will suffer defeat, they will never cheer up without good mental ability.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, to be an elite athlete they not only need talent but they also need very good training and again and again.
DeleteYou opion is very originality. Of course , an elite athlete need combine your talent and too musch physical training.
DeleteAn elite athlete may have great talent so I agree with you. And to be an elite athlete, you should work hard for physical ability and mental ability, even the person has a talent.
DeleteYes, an elite athlete have super willpower and talent, no one can be an elite athlete easily. They will more harder than other people, even they already strong than other people.
DeleteI agree that an elite athlete is person who has talent.
DeleteI agree with your opinion. Mental ability and physical ability are necessary for an elite athlete
DeleteIn my opinion, an elite athlete is a person who works very hard. They have a lot training and eat healthy food every day.They enjoy doing their sport and they are motivated to be an elite athlete. They have coaches who help them become an elite athlete by teaching them skills. They have the mental ability to focus on sports.
ReplyDeleteTo enjoy doing their sports is most important things. It is based on that when people do any activities. I didn't notice that point so you found a good point, I think.
DeleteI agree with you that an elite athlete need a perfect team to help him or her make a detailed plan
DeleteYes I agree with you, they eat healthy food is very important thing.

DeleteI agree with your opinion that an elite athlete still needs work very hard. Only works hard will not waste talent.
DeleteIn my opinion, we call that person beat himself/herself is an elite athlete. If you want to be a elite athlete, firstable you have to beat yourself because your own self is the storongest rival. Secondable, you should not care about rival. Otherwise, you will lose your rival. To beat yourself takes long time and really hard. That's why it is difficult to be a elite athlete.
ReplyDeleteThese things must connect elite athelete's physical ability and mental ability. For example, when you work out and you want to give up but if you don't give up the time you will beat your maximum physical ability and then you will get better physical ability than before. In mantal ability case, it is going to be harder than physical ability. Because to control your feeling and mind is really hard.
In the end, if the person wants to be a elite athlete, just make a effort and beat yourself. This is my conclusion.
That's interesting, I agree with that they have to focus on himself or herself and believe in himself or herself.
DeleteYes, beat yourself is awesome opinion, every champion need to fight with himself/herself.
DeleteI agree with you. I think beat yourself is very important point.
DeleteNo one can easy be an elite athlete, in other words, we can not easy to use word "elite". If you want to be an elite athlete, you not only possess hard physical training, but also need a strong heart. Hard physical training can makes the bones, musclse, heart, and lungs stronger. Strong heart can help you to overcome all obstacles with strength of will, like they need learn to choose relaxe life or the country's honour, learn to endure loneliness when they have training, and learn to abandon between family and match.
ReplyDeleteA strong heart that is a good point.
DeleteI agree that they need learn to endure loneliness.
DeleteTo overcome obstacle definitely improve mental ability.

DeleteIn my opinion, elite athlete means a person who can produce great results in such international match . They practice very hard every day. Also, they need strong spirit because they often feel pressure. They must take the pressure. If you want to be an elite athlete, you have to spend much time to get physical and mental ability .
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that an elite athlete should have the excellent ability to against pressure. I think the elite athletes that we have seen are the person who is outstanding in this group.
DeleteIn my opinion, elite athlete is a person who stronger than other people, and more harder. They pay more attention to be an elite athlete, that mean an elite athlete may lose things to get this title, for example, they lose their free time to have training. I think not every can be an elite athlete, therefore if people who wants to be best, will bear more weight.
ReplyDeleteYes. As a athlete, they indeed need to sacrifice a lot of things. For example, they spend lots of time on training, so they do not have too much freedom to do something else they want to do.
DeleteThe one who wants to wear a crown must bear the weight. This one maybe better.
DeleteI totally agree with you guys. Someone who wants to become an elite athlete has to overcome obstacles in his life. It has to be very hard sacrify your time but if you want to be someone who dedicates his life to sport, any recompense during the process will help you to remind why you are doing this.
DeleteIn my view, the elite athlete means honors, efforts and excellent mental ability. When an elite athlete stands on the stage, he gains the honor, and under this honor he must make great efforts that you never see. In the meanwhile, the elite athletes usually have the good mental ability and they can obtain people's respect not only because of their outstanding performance in sports but the great mental ability.
ReplyDeleteI think mental ability is much more important. If a person wants to become the best at a sport like the campaigns in the Olympic Games, he have had to go through the cruel training for many years. It is very boring and hard.
An elite athlete is person who has succeeded at a sport because of abilities that person has since person was born.
ReplyDeleteI think that the most essential thing to become best at sport is continuation. It is obvious that the best players at sports have continued to play and practice those sports since that they start to do them. If they stopped to play and practice them, they definitely couldn't be best players. That is because physical ability and mental ability that are necessaries to be best player improve by only keeping playing and practicing. That's why I think that continuation is vital point to become best player at sport.
As I said at last paragraph, continuation improves physical ability of people. For instance, if people keep running, their running speed will be faster that before. However, if they are interested in another things and stop running, it will not be faster.
In the case of mental ability, continuation could be significant one since to keep doing some things people need to control their mental. I mean people have to resist a temptation such hanging out with friends and eating junk food by controlling their mental. Therefore, continuation is difficult for people still it trains people's mental ability.
I agree with you. An elite athlete need to practice all time and go have also a control of his mental
DeleteAn elite athlete is a person who has talent and succes in his profession. To become the best at a sport needs many sacrifices. You must work every time more than office hour. To be best player needs many physical ability, you must playing all time and practice. To maintain physical ability is difficult. For example if you'are playing soccer you must running more than other. If you stop this, you must be failure. A best player needs also mental ability. In public you must control your mentality. Everybody have not the same mentality with you. You must support them and that need mental ability.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion，the elite athlete is a person who owns super physical fitness and excellent mental ability. Own a super physical fitness is the first important reason that to decide a person who is an elite athlete or not. The second important reason is excellent mental ability. Compare with physical fitness, mental ability is more important in a sport game. For example; In a sport game, own a good mental quality can reduce unnecessary mistakes. Sometimes, these mistakes determine victory.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. An important part of sports is concentration. It does not matter what your sport, mental ability is important to avoid mistakes in complex circumstances.
DeleteIn my personal experience, physical and mental ability are hugely connected to become an elite athlete. For me, an elite athlete is a proffesional who has a talent and dedicates his life to sports. This person must have a talent that makes him/her special compared to others; this talent is based in his physionomy. Moreover, he/she must to have a strong concept of sacrify because it is not easy to succeed in the sport world. Passion, persistence and patience can lead someone to achieve his goals. Although, none can obtain his purpose without the feeling of being backed. Mentality is relevant, nobody trains alone though. To sum up, someone cannot be an elite athlete if both abilities are not connected because one is as important as the other.
