Failing at times, but getting right back up with our heads held high. That, my friend, is the definition of a true winner. Winning is the highest standard an athlete can set for themselves, and it is the ultimate goal in any athletes' career. Although in order to win, it is all about how we play. Devoting all of our time and energy to something we truly love makes the win a very gratifying reward.
Dedication makes winning possible.
As a child athlete, it usually is just playing the game and having fun. As the commitment to a particular sport becomes greater, the want for a win increases as well. Although the game is supposed to be fun, winning makes it just a little more enjoyable. Crying after a loss and replaying all of those plays in our heads illustrates the heart of an athlete. Winning becomes a habit, a good habit.
