Most athletes, we're the good ol' boys, part of the good-ol'-boy fraternity, and we take care of our brothers, and we cover up the bad habit and the bad play.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most of my family are good athletes.
Athletes know kids look up to them, and it's important for athletes to be responsible.
We judge athletes as if we all don't have trouble performing our various duties from time to time.
Our athletes are our heroes.
Among sportsmen are the noble, the diligent and the caring, as there are the callous, the cheats and the criminals.
Athletes often start life at the opposite end of the wealth and prestige spectrum, but as soon as they exhibit an unusual talent for swinging a bat or sinking a free-throw they may find that the rules have been suspended for them. They are waved through school and into the pros, and incidents of bad behavior are overlooked or covered up.
I grew up in the Boys & Girls Club. That's where I really started playing all sports, and that's why I'm a big advocate for the work they do.
I have great admiration for athletes. They are just like actors in a lot of ways. They have tremendous pressures and conflicts. They have to compete, and they can't stay home just because they have a head cold.
The mark of great sportsmen is not how good they are at their best, but how good they are their worst.
So much of a professional athlete's success depends upon not necessarily the play itself but how he deals with... always saying how you deal with good, is just as important as how you deal with bad.
