Answer 1

It is easy to assume that life as a top sports star is both easy
and glamorous. But this is to completely misunderstand the UNDERSTAND
reality of what goes on behind the scenes. From a very early
age athletes must be absolutely committedto their sport. COMMIT
But determination on its own is not enough – they need to DETERMINE
be fiercely .ambitious in order to succeed, and must AMBITION
never allow themselves to be discouraged by setbacks. COURAGE
Successful sports stars can, of course, become very wealthy,
in addition to being world-famous, but can be at an ADD
severe disadvantage in their social development. It is therefore ADVANTAGE
important to ensure that they receive a reasonably SURE
balanced upbringing and to broaden their experience BROAD
beyond the daily grind of practice and competition in order
to enable them to deal with the constant pressures ABLE
that success can bring.
