Dedication, persistence and commitment are qualities of a true athlete. From the
stress of the practice to the heat of the game, athletes learn the real meaning of passion.
Victories are not earned through anything less than the act of giving it all. The final ring of
the buzzer, knowing the game has been won, leaves accomplished smiles on all athletes'
faces.
We give, we take, we sacrifice, we teach - all for the love of the game. People grow
and find themselves through the hardships of perfecting their abilities. Whether it's finding
a devotion to that particular sport or a role in leadership, being an athlete shapes people.
It is undeniable that sports have become a major part of many high school students' lives.
