About Me
found this love layout at HOT FreeLayouts.comWHY WE PLAY:
It's not about getting a scholarship, getting drafted, or making Sports Center. It's a deep need inside of us that comes from the heart. We need to practice, to play, to lift, to hustle, and to sweat. We do it for our teammates and for that student in our calculus class that we don't even know.
We don't practice with a future professional league athlete; we practice with a future sports agent. We don't lift weights with a future Olympic wrestler; we lift with a future doctor. We don't run with a future Wimbledon champion; we run with a future CEO.
It's a bigger part of us than our friends and family can understand. Sometimes we play for 2000 fans, sometimes there are 20. But we still play hard. You cheer for us because you know us. You know more than just our names. We don't sign autographs but we do sign graduate school applications, MCAT exams, and student body petitions.
When we miss a goal or strike out, we don't let down and entire state. We only let down our teammates, coaches and fans. But the hurt is still the same. We train hard, lift, swim, throw, run ,kick, serve, dribble, and lift some more, and in the morning we go to class. And in that class we are nothing more than students. Like all of you, we are students first.
It's about pride-in ourselves and in our school.
It's about our love and passion for the game. And when it's over, when we leave that court, pool, or field for the last time, our hearts crumble. Those tears are real. But deep down inside, we are proud of ourselves. We will forever be what few can claim....we are college athletes.Well..
