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 the hate when someone sitting outside cheers their opponent, or even takes his/her side.
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.
The live for the way they feel after a defeat, and promise themselves to bounce back higher next time.
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.. :')
