People don`t play sports because its fun. Ask any athlete, most of them hate it, but they couldn`t imagine their life without it. Its part of them, the Hate/love relationship. its what they live for. They live for the practices, parties, cheers, long bus rides,water, Gatorade, & coaches you hate but appreciate. They live for the way it feels when you beat the team next to you by 1 pt. in overtime, & you know those 2 extra sprints you ran in practice were worth it. They live for the way you become a family with your team, they live for the countless songs you sing in your head when your running ALL those suicides. They live for the competition, they live for the friends, the practices, the memories,the sweat, the pain.They live to hail the name across the jersey, and fulfill the legacy to be the legend. its who they are. It`s who we are. ©
