Why do curlers sacrifice so much?
Why
do elite curlers sacrifice so much?
Why
do they work through the summer so they can take vacations in the
winter?
Why
do they practice every day?
Why
do they miss family events?
Why
do they miss their own kids' curling events?
Why
do they travel across the country, just to return to work blurry-eyed
on Monday morning.
Why
do they jam themselves into minivans?
Why
do they make sacrifices in their career. Passing up promotions and
other moves that would get them further ahead both professionally and
financially?
Why
do they push themselves physically, just so they can get in good
enough shape to sweep 100 ends in a span of six days?
Why
do they keep up with the young guns?
Why
go to a cold rink, when you can stay at home?
Why
do they pay money out of their own pocket to compete?
Why
put up with all the sacrifices?
Here's why: (h/t to CBC)
...watch this video of the Nova Scotia
women's curling championships from this weekend. This is why it's all
worth it. Those 10 seconds when you realize that it was all worth it.
Feel the emotion. They are just as excited now as they were the first
time they qualified for the Scotties.
It's a grind and it's a large
sacrifice, but it's worth it.
