A little more of adrenaline
There are fun sports, sports for passion and then there are extreme sports. While the first is an occasional thing, the second is more of a dedicated nature that is practiced by those for whom sports activities are something that cannot be avoided. Wherever they go and whatever time they wake up, its practioners are dedicated to their chosen sport.
The third lot is followed by those few people for whom the above is kid stuff. They prefer something that will challenge them; physically, as well as mentally. They can’t wait to get off the changing room benches and be out there, doing what they do the best.
Besides being in top physical shape, they prefer to train their minds, or should I say, take control of their minds, to such an extent that the physical strain or exhaustion is secondary. The mind is conditioned to ignore such petty things and take over the body when exhaustion sets in. It does invariably and conquering this is the very essence of the sport.
Extreme sports calls for a mental state of being that supersedes the physical. Physical fitness is in no way secondary. People who opt for extreme sports are always in peak form. The sport itself is so demanding that however fit the person may be, a point is reached where the body cannot take any further punishment. That’s when the mind takes over the body and keeps the person going. Often, at the end of the event, the person is on the verge of collapse.
Such sports calls for a dedication that excludes all else. A normal life, as we describe it today, is something to be disdained. Diet, sleep, social activities, everything is dictated by what the chosen sport and what it allows. If it interferes with the sport, it is abandoned. Every little bit of adrenaline that can be summoned is reserved for the sport.
