Are You Willing to Do Everything You Can to Save Your Dreams?
Winning a competition is already challenging for athletes who have trained all their lives for it. However, imagine the average joes we have in the movie. They only get a short time to prepare their bodies and minds, but that doesn’t extinguish the fire in their hearts.
They knew their goal, and they remained determined to accomplish it. During their training, they learned the five Ds of dodgeball: dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge.
If we understand these a little more profoundly, we can apply them to our everyday lives. When we face challenges that are currently too big for us, sometimes, all we can do to stay afloat is to dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge. We have to know, first and foremost, which obstacles are currently too big for us to handle so that we can train and plan for them.
Then, when the same big challenge faces us in the future, we’ll know how to react. After all, we’ve already conditioned ourselves for them. Then, it won’t only be about training; we can now meet everything head-on.
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story wants us to remember two main things. First, train your body and mind for what you want to accomplish, and second, understand that it’s okay to back down when you’re not yet ready. Read this list of quotes again whenever you need some inspiration!
