Being a professional athlete, you will find that you don't have much time to improve your social or love life. You might appear distant and even unapproachable to the opposite sex due to your increased interest in sports. You don't want to let your romance suffer, though.
You need to show your partner that you're not choosing sports over your relationship. The first thing to do is to try to be more honest. According to current dating statistics, 95% of women prefer a man who is open to their emotions.
If you show her how much you care, she will want to support you both as a man she loves and an athlete.
Teamwork in Your Love Life
Your career as an athlete certainly requires you to understand and practice teamwork. Whether you're in an actual team or one-on-one with your coach, your job is to be attentive, a good listener, and do your best to get the highest scores.Transfer that team spirit to your relationship. You and your partner are a team. Cheer her on and support her in her career and personal life. Work on problems together when they arise.
Even though you may not be physically present as much as you'd want to, you can still show love and devotion when you're together. If you make your partner feel valued and appreciated, she will want to reciprocate.
Include Her in Every Way You Can
When convenient, you can invite her to go with you to a game. It will make her feel included, and she might enjoy watching you perform and being your personal cheerleader. However, it's not always possible to be together, so you'll still want to make her feel a part of your life.When you're away from home, regularly call her to ask about her day. Show genuine interest, and try to listen more than you speak. By practicing this kind of mindfulness, you're letting her know that her day doesn't have to be super dynamic (as yours was) for you to want to hear about it.
What If She's Not Into Sports?
We all hear about couples who love the same food, do the same things, and live happily ever after. If your partner is into sports, great—you have the same interests, and she'll likely understand your professional challenges.But she doesn't necessarily need to love sports to be supportive of you. Find activities that you both enjoy. It can be watching a movie on a Friday night, hanging out with friends, or cooking a meal together.
Once you're on the same page about it, promise to make time for it when you aren't traveling and stick to it. By doing this, you show that you care and enjoy time spent together.
Conclusion
As an athlete, you'll often be busy and away from home. Finding the balance between your career and relationship might be challenging.It's essential to show your significant other how much you care even when you're not physically present. When you can be there for her, make sure it's all about the quality time you both enjoy.
