Celebrating Like Children

While watching the Italian team celebrate after the World Cup final game, a family member turned to me and said “Don’t you think it’s a little silly how long they are celebrating?  Don’t they look like children?”  They thought my response was interesting so I will share it with you all now.

It is my opinion that in order to be an elite athlete you have to be able to get emotionally caught up in whatever you are doing.  The extra kick that the emotion gives the athlete can make a huge difference in performance.  The athlete can jump a little higher or run a little longer.  It also is why these athletes can have the energy they need to face the long schedules of the regular season. So when they reach the pinnacle of their sport and succeed, it is not suprising that they would celebrate "till the cows came home."
