The U22 Vietnam men's football team at the 33rd SEA Games is a typical example. They not only won on the field but also won against themselves, conquering the limits of physical strength, spirit and perseverance. Awarded the Gold Medal at this SEA Games, U22 Vietnam has demonstrated its ability to overcome and train its endurance.
In football, victory is not always easy. Sometimes, it was a moment of facing failure, a difficult ball, or even a mental loss. However, it is in those difficult times that will training is tested. The U22 Vietnam players have not given up in stressful situations, they always maintain patience and determination.
One of the important factors to beat yourself is the ability to practice continuously and harshly. The team's training sessions are not simply physical training but also challenges for the players to overcome themselves. They are constantly faced with difficult exercises, with increasingly high requirements for technique, fitness and tactics. This requires each player to make tireless efforts, not only to meet the standards of the coach but also to overcome the limits they set for themselves.
Sports is not a straight journey, but a race with many twists. Therefore, self-adjustment and flexibility are necessary to overcome yourself. The U22 Vietnam team has shown this throughout their competition at the 33rd SEA Games. Not only having to face strong opponents, the players also have to learn to adjust tactics, feel the game situation and change themselves to suit each situation on the field.
The ability to self-adjust in sports is not only about tactics but also a change in the way one approaches oneself, in solving psychological and mental problems when facing pressure. Each player must be aware of their strengths and weaknesses, thereby adjusting their actions and attitudes to suit each stage of the match.
Training to overcome yourself is an endless journey. The U23 Vietnam players have proven that, despite their resounding successes, they still have to continue to practice, learn and improve constantly. Persistence in constantly improving themselves is the key to maintaining their form and achieving proud achievements in the future.
Winning in sports is not only about winning against opponents, but also about winning yourself. Sports are sometimes a mirror reflecting life. To some extent, the U22 Vietnam Team has proven that, to be successful in sports and in life, each person needs to constantly practice, not only in skills but also in the ability to defeat themselves.
