Athletes compete in different sporting arenas, but the
elements of their success are the same: determination, innovation, commitment,
loyalty, teamwork, a
positive attitude, skill, the desire to achieve and old fashioned hard work. An athlete's legacy is not
just a record of athletic accomplishments, but
also the individual's ability to lift those around them to
a higher
level.
