It's not forgotten after passing the last test. And sports never run out of challenges to our competitive spirit. In volleyball I just have to get better all the time. In addition to those a coach arranges, there are unlimited ways we can payback. Your true character shows itself when only you are watching.
Mirrors are good places to find character.
Competitive spirit lasts long after games end and career competition begins. It's the spirit part that has longevity, becomes special, defines success as playing by the rules, takes on responsibility for those who follow and builds character of which we can be proud.
