Building Character through Motocross

Send us Fan Mail

Racing motocross is brutal! The hardest part of the sport is not what you see at the races or on TV. It's all the work behind the scenes. From working multiple jobs to pay bills and keep the bike going to coping with constant failures to injuries and bike failures; it really makes the sport a grueling one. To those not familiar with motocross (or supercross) it's not just sitting on a bike and driving around. The amount of physical strength and endurance is actually one of the most challenging according to kinesiology research. But this episode is not mean to talk about racing. It's all about building character!

For me I have build character through many struggles as a kid and as an adult however motocross has been one of the hardest for me. It really taught me a lot as you have to work so hard just to fail. Building character is not an easy task. It's not like you open a book and read a few chapters on it to learn how to do it better. To really build character you need to be put into tough situations. Do you give up early, do you try to cheat, do you blame others, are you honest with yourself, or do you complain a lot? All of these can only been seen in truly trying times. The only way to build character is to go through tough times and push through like a champion!
