Don’t Get Bored!
I’m a huge Candace Parker fan and have followed her career. She is an incredible leader and role model. I now love to listen to her comments as a studio analyst for CBS/TNT Sports. In a discussion about the Michigan State/Bryant game she was complimenting Tom Izzo and how it had to bring his players a great deal of confidence that their coach had been in the NCAA tournament so many times. Izzo, she pointed out, has seen almost all possible scenarios play out. We a lot of times forget how great a coach he is and how great a program that is. As a Purdue guy that was hard for me to say. She then talked about how so often we fall in love with something and then we get bored. I interpreted this as a reflection on how people often become enamored with something new, such as a relationship, a career, or a passion, only to lose interest over time.
This sentiment suggests that the initial excitement and allure can fade, leading to a sense of dissatisfaction or boredom. In the context of sports or personal pursuits, it may imply that while the thrill and joy of participating or competing can be overwhelming at first, the ongoing demands and challenges can lead to a lack of engagement if one doesn’t find ways to maintain that spark. It encourages individuals to seek continuous growth and renewal rather than relying solely on the initial passion to sustain our interest.
