It's just as important to explore the imagination through literature, poetry, and song as it is to develop young bodies, and develop attitudes of teamwork and a team mentality through sports.

You still get up and put one leg in your trousers first and whether it's a toga or a pair of Calvin Klein jeans, it doesn't matter.
