Mariah Burton Nelson: You Are an Athlete

"Think of yourself as an athlete. I guarantee you it will change the way you walk, the way you work, and the decisions you make about leadership, teamwork, and success."- MBN

You Are an Athlete
sung to the tune of "My Favorite Things"
© Mariah Burton Nelson, 2001, for the Women's Success Forum

Raindrops on oceans when I'm swimming miles
Snowflakes on ski slopes that generate smiles
Brown leather basketballs make my heart sing
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white jerseys with blue satin stitches
Short girls and tall girls all finding their niches
Gaining the confidence skill-building brings
These are a few of my favorite things

When the mike breaks
When my heart aches
When my writing's bad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel... so sad.

You are an athlete if you'd just believe it
Dare to compete and then you will achieve it
Know what your goal is and who's on your team
You will begin to fulfill every dream

When your project fails
When your partner bails
When you're feeling sad
Please simply remember your favorite things
And then you won't feel... so bad.
