Article: This does not mean being unrealistic, or saying you're going to go professional within a year. Instead, you should take a look at what you are, and figure out where you think you would like to be. Give yourself a suitable amount of time to achieve that goal, and break it down into smaller parts if the goal is especially big. For example, if you do want to go professional, take a look at what the requirements are, and work your way up to each one. You may have to go semi-pro first. Rather than focusing on the big picture, focus on the smaller one instead. For example, you could focus on your technique. Being good at sports means more than physical strength and speed. In order to be truly great, you need to apply that positive attitude to the way you treat other players, even if they're on the other team. If you lose a match, accept the loss and show respect to the other player for their victory. If you set an example of good sportsmanship, you'll receive the same respect in turn when you win. Treat loss as a learning experience. Figure out what you did wrong, then try to improve it for the next game. No matter what you do, skills are often slow to build. If you're not patient, you will try to leap into more advanced techniques long before you're ready. Your motivation will sap away when you don't see improvement immediately. Keep the long-term goal in mind, and hang tight in the meantime while you make it a reality. Remember: there is always going to be someone who can do it better than you, at least at first. Impatient athletes tend to make poor ones. When you play sports, you will inevitably receive criticism. Whether from a coach, other players, or spectators, you need to take most of it with a grain of salt. Are they angry because you missed a pass, or do they sincerely want to help you improve? Learn to distinguish the constructive criticism from the hurtful remarks. In a lot of cases, you can use criticism as motivation to get better in whatever area they bring up. Don't let yourself get defensive. Your thinking becomes more limited if you allow yourself to become emotional against criticism. Keep your ego under control. Even if you think you are the best, be open to constructive criticism. One of the biggest reasons people join sports teams in the first place is to make friends with new people. If you join a team, you're bound to run into a lot of people. Chances are you'll develop friendships with at least some of them. Making these friendships a priority is a good move if you want to become great at sports. You can practice together on your own time. The morale boost of playing with friends helps as well. Team sports like soccer can have some skills practiced in solitude, but for others (like goalkeeping and passing) another person is needed. It's helpful to have this other person as a friend. It'll make the practice process more enjoyable in the long term. It's possible to get so obsessed with being good at something that you lose track of why you want to be good in the first place. Not taking the time to enjoy the sport you play results in a fast burnout. Whether you're practicing or playing a competition, try to remember the other reasons why you play sports. For example, this may include the natural satisfaction you get from exercise, or simply the quality time spent with friends.

Obstetricians and nurses frequently work with birth advocates and are often happy to meet them in advance. Just contact the hospital or birth center beforehand and schedule an appointment. Take advantage of an advance meeting to discuss the mother's preferences with the delivery doctor, midwife, or nurses. This will make communication easier during the delivery and give you all the opportunity to address potential concerns prior to the delivery. Some doctors or nurses may be very happy to give you pointers for communicating with them and other birthing staff during the delivery. They may also be able to tell you what to expect about interacting with staff and helping advocate for the mother in a way that the staff will respect and appreciate. If your role will involve firm statements about the mother's decisions, practice speaking in a firm but respectful tone to give you the confidence you need to effectively communicate for the mother during delivery. She may be unable to effectively advocate for herself at certain points during labor and delivery. Some sample advocacy statements are: "She does not want any medication." "She wants to delay cutting the umbilical cord by 2 minutes." "She would like some time alone with the baby." Once the mother has been admitted for the birth, let staff know who you are and why you are there so that they know who to consult with questions or concerns first. Introducing yourself will also remind the staff that you are there for the mother and that she has clear expectations for what she wants out of her delivery and assistance. As a birth advocate, your job is to verbally defend the mother's decisions as much as necessary, but if the mother has changed her mind it becomes your job to defend her new choices. Your most important job is to be there for her. If a mother is disappointed to have to accept medical or surgical intervention due to the circumstances of her delivery, your role as a birth advocate will become essential to her confidence and satisfaction with the birth process. Remind her that she is making the best decision for her and her baby and refocus her on safely delivering a healthy child. For example, if she is upset about needing surgical intervention, you can say "I know this isn't what you wanted, but what is most important right now is that the baby is healthy and safe" or "Just think about how amazing it will be to hold your baby in your arms."
