People don't play sports because it's fun.
Ask any athlete, most of them hate it,
but they couldn't imagine their life without it.
It's part of them, the [love/hate relationship.]
It's what they live for.
They live for the practices, parties, cheers, long
bus rides, invitationals, countless pairs of different
types of shoes, water, Gatorade and the coaches
you hate but appreciate.
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.]
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, the friends, the
practices, the memories,the pain.

It's who they are. It's who we are.
