Source

I'm not one that's into athletics or anything that has to do with it. It is not like I detest it or I don't watch athletics at all. I do, and I've been to some football games and basketball games too in my country. But the really don't tickle my fancy.

But there's one athlete I can stop admiring his zeal and resilience amongst the adversity he keeps facing in his career. But somehow it looks like he just picks up the stones thrown at him and keep on building himself and his career. Tell me if that is not worth emulating. Although I'm not into sports, he's one person I admire. And that's the legendaryCristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the world's iconic and recognizable athletes. The February 5, 1985, Portuguese rise to fame is nothing short of remarkable.

Ronaldo is an exceptional athlete who has achieved incredible feats throughout his career on the field. He has over 700 goals to his name, this makes him unarguably one of the top goal scorers of all time. Not just that, Ronaldo has also won numerous individual awards and team trophies, like five UEFA Champions League titles, four FIFA Club World Cups, five Ballon d'Or awards, and four European Golden Shoes.

Ronaldo's exceptional talent, hard work, and dedication to his craft have earned him the title of CR7.

Here are some of the things that made CR7 my favorite athlete:

Hard Work: if you're an ardent follower of the football star then you must have known his intense training regimen and his knack for improving his game. And I believe these are some of the requirements needed for success in any field that require. For you to achieve success you must be willing to put in the necessary work. And as for Cristiano he is always pushing himself to be the best, and this is evident in his exceptional performances on the field.

Resilience: like I mentioned earlier his resilience in the face of adversity is one other thing I admire about him. All through his career he has faced several challenges, setbacks, and strong criticism from the media and opponents but as always he proves them wrong, bounces back stronger and more determined to be better at his craft. That is some Greatest of all time legendary move. Seriously for some like me I truly admire his mental toughness and his unwavering determination. That's worth a emulating.

He has in various means used his fame and fortune to give back to numerous charitable causes and has also donated millions of dollars to different organizations of the world. His humanitarian work has touched the lives of many of his fans around the world, and what more can teach but an inspiration to his fans and fellow colleagues.
