Professional athletes achieve success and fame mainly from one thing: hard work. Mention any of the most recognized athletes in history, and I guarantee they didn’t get to the top without determination and hard work. Dedication, perseverance, and a love for the game are the three ingredients needed to get to the very top. Sacrifices must be made daily in order to achieve the dream. You think athletes trying to make it to the top are sleeping in late, going to parties, eating ice cream sundaes, and relaxing with their families? Nope, quite the opposite actually. These individuals endure long hours, aching bodies, travel, loneliness, strict exercise and diet regimens. Most of their days are spent eating, sleeping, and breathing their dream: to become a professional athlete in the NBA and be at the very top.
Many NBA players seek someone to share their fame and success with, usually a significant other. From emotional support to attending every game; these women are a big part of their men’s lives. The saying “behind every man is a great woman” holds true when it comes to these pro athletes! These strong, independent and truly beautiful ladies do it all, they absolutely slay work life and home life leaving us speechless… girl power!
