In sports, you learn how to accept loss and move forward. You learn how you don't win. Beedy runs a day and overnight camp that teaches sports. But at the same time, because of the camp's structure, it also teaches how to succeed at life. Although the Olympics may be the pinnacle of all sports competition, it certainly does give us an example of how those involved in sports learn to appreciate diversity.
Diversity can also mean differences in opinion, socio-economic background, or even haircuts.
You learn to appreciate a person for who they are, not be biased toward them because of what they look like or where they come from. Beedy also says sports are about teamwork and responsibility. For example, the coach and your teammates rely on you to show up for after-school practices and to fulfil your role on the team. If you are a second baseman, you are expected to be able to do certain tasks better than others. Maybe it won't be so important for you to learn how to run fast.
