I think team sports probably teach you more about giving - about being unselfish and being flexible.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The great thing coming from sports is you understand the concept of a team. It leaves no room for being selfish, and that's something I picked up from home.
I was lucky enough when it came to sports and work ethic to be taught some basics that continue to be important.
Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they've taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.
I've given many lessons in many sports over the years to many different people.
Sport has given me drive and discipline. It also taught me to remain humble.
I think being an athlete prepares you for more things than people give us credit for.
The selfish thing about an athlete is you always look at the side of things where you say I could've done that better.
I know when I have kids, when I'm older, I'm going to encourage them to play sports because I think it teaches you a lot. It teaches you discipline, teamwork, and that there's really no 'I' in team.
I was very athletic when I was younger and I am a very competitive person, so I never give up.
As an athlete, you have to become quite selfish with your time and your body and your training.
