For example, Steven Holcomb, leader of the American bobsled team in Sochi,
has credited the value of hard work in helping him to overcome serious obstacles
(a degenerative eye disease and depression) to succeed in his sport. Holcomb
has said that Olympians “have to make a lot of sacrifices” in order to focus on
working hard. “You have to love your doing and put your heart and soul into it
and that only takes you to the next level,”
Note As we talk with kids about the value of hard work, “All hard work bring a profit,

but mere talk leads only to poverty.” While it is also said, “I can do all things
through him who gives me strength.” – GOD

Encourage them to approach both success and failure gracefully.

Whether they win or lose, Olympians often respond with graceful attitude that
inspires others Consider what matters most: not the results of a single event, but
the character of the person competing in it.

For example : Indian hockey player Sandeep Singh exemplified a graceful
response to success when he made the Olympic team for India despite his poor
performance in the national championships. Officials decided to give a spot to
Sandeep based on his reputation as a top drag flicker at most events, rather than
let his mistakes at the championships keep him out of the Olympics. Sandeep
responded to his successful bid for the team with humility and gratitude, bringing
to mind. “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up. You Can
Be in the Right Place at the Right Time”.

Teach them excellence: The International Olympic Committee states that
excellence is one of the core values around which the Olympic movement is
constructed. Olympians strive to put their best effort into each practice and
competition. They aim to do their personal best, no matter what circumstances
or competitors they may be facing at the time.

“Whatever you do, do it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for
human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the
Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Encourage your kids to
do their best in every situation to honor God, who cheers them to reach their full
potential

Teach them friendship:

Another one International Olympic Committee’s core value is friendship.
Olympic athletes gather from around the world to compete, and in the process
