Writer's notebook... Commitments

The athletes that compete at the Olympic level give up regular life styles. They have to spend long hours everyday practicing and working hard. They might not get to see their family often. To me that would mean total commitment and dedication to the sport.


Another commitment that is closely related to being an Olympic athlete is being married. Someone who is married might have to change his or way of life to make the other person happy. The husband may not like his wife's relatives, but is willing to visit with them just to make her happy.


Couples fight a lot and may come to the thought of divorce, but if they are really committed, just like Olympic athletes are to their sport, the couple will find a rational solution to make them both happy. Being an Olympic athlete is difficult but so is being married.
