People don't play sports because its fun. Ask any
athlete, most of them hate it, but they couldn't imagine their life with
out it. Its part of them, the love/hate relationship. Its what they
live for. They live for the practices, parties, cheers, long bus rides,
invitationals, countless pairs of different types of shoes, water,
Gatorade, & coaches you hate but appreciate. They live for the way
it feels when they beat the other team, and knowing those two extra
sprints they ran in practice were worth it. They live for the way they
become a family with their team, they live for the countless songs they
sing in their head while training all those hours. They live for the
competition, they live for the friends, the practices, the memories, the
pain, its who they are. It's who we are.
