Lebron James is one of the greatest basketball players, if not the greatest. He inspires many and continues to inspire the younger generation of basketball players. As he continues to grow as a person in the light of the media, he teaches young kids essential lessons that can be applied to all facets of life. Below we will highlight the various life lessons that LeBron James teaches and why they are crucial.
Lessons We Can Learn From Lebron James
Staying Positive In The Face Of Adversity
As a professional athlete, Lebron James has faced adversity at many points in his career. The most notable point of hardship was when he went down 3-1 in the NBA finals against the Golden State Warriors; he was a loss away from losing in the NBA finals. Most other people in this situation would have lost hope, but he did not; he stayed positive and rallied his team. By keeping this positive attitude and never giving up, he brought his team back from being down 3-1 and won the NBA championships. That showcases that no matter how hard things seem, it is possible to overcome significant barriers in your career in sports if you keep a positive attitude. It is essential to stay positive because giving up when things get complicated is easy; you do not challenge yourself by giving up. Fighting through adversity and remaining positive thinking, you can do it will help you grow as a person.
Learn From Others
Regardless of how talented you are in your field of expertise, you can always learn from other people. This is because they can bring a new perspective, or their expertise is different from yours, so they can teach you new things. Lebron James exemplifies this amazingly, even though he is one of the greatest in his field of expertise. He has taken pointers from other players, such as Kobe Bryant and Jerry West, about things he can do to improve. He is also not perfect, so he listens to his teammates and learns from them to gain a new perspective on how they can play the game as a team. Regardless of how good Lebron is, he knows he does not have all the answers, so he is always looking to learn from others. We should have the same mentality because regardless of how good you are, you can improve by learning more.
Don’t Hold Grudges
As one of the most popular athletes in the world, you would think Lebron James would have a grudge against someone for something they said about him. This is because he is such a talked about and criticized athlete; some very negative comments are made about him. However, he does not hold grudges against these people; he does not let the comments and negativity bother him. When he left Cleveland for Miami, the owner made negative public comments about this move because he was unhappy with Lebron’s choices. However, when Lebron James returned to play for Cleavland, he met with the owner to bury the hatchet and move forward instead of making it an issue. Grudges rarely, if ever, benefit anyone; they just make you hold in emotions towards someone that can be fixed through a conversation. Understanding that clashes and arguments happen from time to time is critical because only some things will go perfectly all the time in life. Lebron James showcases that even though he receives mass amounts of criticism, it is best to communicate directly with the person you have a problem with instead of making it a bigger problem.
