CHAPTER

Pass Up the Opportunity

To pass something up is to purposely not take an opportunity. We often use it with the word opportunity, or with the word chance. To train to be an athlete at the highest level, you must choose not to do other things so that you can focus on your sport. The road to being an elite athlete is long and difficult. At an early age, kids have to decide how much time they will dedicate to practising their sports. Other kids will make different choices. Maybe they're good athletes, but they pass up the opportunity to pursue their dreams in athletics so they can focus on their studies.
