2nd post

I started my search and I was getting frustrated because there was nothing I could use for this project. When I went to Google and searched for answers I didn't find what I was looking for and/or the sites were blocked. After a while I got frustrated and wanted to give up because I thought if I don't find anything now I'm never going to find anything at all. You would think that there would be something on this topic but I guess I was wrong, but then my luck changed I was searching on Google and something great happened. At last my luck has changed and i can begin my research on this topic. It starts like this i typed in skateboard motivation and Bam there it was.


I stumbled across this website that had a whole bunch of little interviews of skateboarding and how they become focused and prepared for skateboarding.Now I focused on the best of the best because obviously there methods work. I went to Google and typed in skateboard motivation and this website had a whole bunch of pros's that were interviewed on this topic.Ryan scheckler was only 13 when he became a pro and he said what motivates him is fast music and the rush of the sport. He also said that people should never give up because that's the first sign of saying you are weak and cant handle the pain and frustration. Now everyone says that music improves there ability and as being a skater I think that's true , I focus more when I'm listening to music. He stated that it all comes from the self-confidence and self motivation, and if you don't believe in your self you mines well not skate at all. Now unfortunately this sport is really hard to become a pro but anything can happen u just have to motivate your self even if your having an off day get back up and do it again.
