How far do you push yourself with sport?

Question

dangerDoge · Accepted Answer

For running when I am trying to improve, I have the mindset of "if you aren't at a fish-out-of-water stage, you can keep going." That was one thing that I implanted solidly internally within the first few runs I ever went on. It was kind of how I knew how much harder I could push myself. I never had to deal with throwing up but that's also a good indication when one has gone too far.

Up until that, I try to keep pushing myself. I decided that a little pain (non injury related) is good, and the only way you'll ever get better is if you push through the burn. I realized that I wasn't blessed with ridiculous athletic ability, so I decided to compensate with just lots of effort. A positive mental attitude makes all the difference.

It was especially like that in track/cross country. After stopping after a race ended, I would be stumbling around for some minutes. A couple races I remember almost passing out. Now that I'm not in cross country anymore, I don't quite push myself to that extent, but I do still like to try and work hard. 👍

To the limit! >:-[]

But seriously, if I'm competing against an opponent, it pushes me to try harder. I still remember way way way back when I was 10 or 11, and a girl in the audience cheered for my opponent to beat me in a race. Made me angry and want to prove her wrong. xD

ha well i didn't have much of an option playing college softball. i was literally the only catcher once season came last year so i literally caught every game, warmed up the pitchers and caught all of them at practice. I was catching (squating) on average 6 hours a day on game days )4 days of the week) and about 2 hours the other 2 days we had practice.

Now that I'm done with sports, i push myself with running but not lifting

At school I spent too much time on it and now I kinda wish I studied more in school rather then playing sports.

Pretty far. At some point in track, I just said, "fuck it" and competed despite having 2 partially torn acls and mcls, fucked up lower back, a crack in my foot and a broken toe. In football, I fucked myself up plenty of times. Concussed many more. In rugby in college, I got a stinger in my left arm and kept goin and shattered parts of my shin and still played, but quit cause I got braces 😑. And I was playing ultimate at the same time, too

I think in order to get better at any sport, you have to "push yourself and your boundaries just a little..." but always do it safely, and never over do it, if you hurt yourself, you just get set back...

JoyGirl · Answer

I am a cross country runner, and I also run track.  So, I am distant runner, therefore I have to push myself very hard. 😅😌

nala_rawr · Answer

if working out is a sport... i push just enough to make gains, but not enough to hurt myself.

I'm not really a sporty guy, personally. But when I have to play sports (PE classes) I pushed myself very hard. Turned out I was the most indestructible player in the school rugby team. 😉

anonman32 · Answer

back when i was still in the gym i would hit the weights so hard until i almost cried from pain. only giving myself 30 seconds to a minute rest between sets.

Ephemera1 · Answer

Other than hitting the gym 2-4 times a week not much. Stop pushing too hard after my 3rd injury. A casual game of soccer is pretty much the only sport I do.
