Una de las grandes características que debe tener un gran líder, es la capacidad de inspirar a otros.
La inspiración es el deseo de trascender de tu plano personal y aportar a cualquier causa. En nuestro caso es al deporte.
Todo gran líder busca fuentes de inspiración, estas pueden ser de fuentes externas o internas. De esta manera, tener el poder de proyectarse a sus compañeros de manera segura y efectiva.
Aqui una serie de poemas aplicables a cada posible escenario a encontrarse dentro de la línea de fuego. Los poemas no son de mi autoría y son en ingles. No hice la gestión de traducirlos ya que perderían su valor por razones de interpretación. Doy crédito a los autores que plasmaron su frma en ellos, ya que algunos son de heroes anónimos.

When things go wrong
by Edgar Guest
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressuring you down a bit,
Rest, if you must—but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up, though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man.
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup.
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you can never tell how close you are;
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit—
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.
It’s all a State of Mind (could not find the author)
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you won't.
If you like to win, but don't think you can,
It's almost a cinch that you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost.
For out in the world you'll find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in a state of mind.
For many a game is lost
Ere even a play is run,
And many a coward fails
Ere even his work is begun.
Think big and your deeds will grow;
Think small and you'll fall behind;
Think that you can and you will;
It's all in a state of mind.
If you think you're out-classed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battle don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he can!
The Road Ahead by George Moriarty
Sometimes I think the fates must grin as we denounce them and insist,
The only reason we can’t win is the fates themselves have missed.
Yet, there lives on the ancient claim - we win or lose within ourselves,
The shining trophies on our shelves can never win tomorrow’s game.
So you and I know deeper down there is a chance to win the crown,
But when we fail to give our best, we simply haven’t met the test
Of giving all and saving none until the game is really won.
Of showing what is meant by grit, of fighting on when others quit,
Of playing through not letting up, it’s bearing down that wins the cup.
Of taking it and taking more until we gain the winning score,
Of dreaming there’s a goal ahead, of hoping when our dreams are dead,
Of praying when our hopes have fled. Yet, losing, not afraid to fall,
If bravely we have given all, for who can ask more of a man
than giving all, it seems to me, is not so far from - Victory.
And so the fates are seldom wrong, no matter how they twist and wind,
It’s you and I who make our fates, we open up or close the gates,
On the Road Ahead or the Road Behind
Winning is Giving
Winning is giving your best self away
Winning is serving with grace every day
You'll know that you've won when your friends say it's true.
"I like who I am when I'm around you.
You look for the best in the others you see
And you help us become who we're trying to be."
Winning is helping someone who's down
It's sharing a smile instead of a frown.
It's giving your children a hug by the fire
And sharing the values and dreams that inspire.
It's giving your parents the message "I care.
Thanks, Mom and Dad, for being so fair."
Winners are willing to give more than get
Their favors are free, you're never in debt.
Winning is giving one hundred percent
It's paying your dues, your taxes, your rent
It's trying and doing, not crying and stewing.
Winners respect every color and creed,
They share and they care for everyone's need.
The losers keep betting that winning is getting
But there's one of God's laws that they keep forgetting
And this is the Law you can live and believe
The more that you give, the more you'll receive!
