Having Class
Teams come and go. Players graduate. Names are forgotten. Big plays are stored away. Well, if you’re the one who got burned, then they’re repressed. But, one thing remains: the way you carried yourself during the games. Sure, it’s easy to mouth of to a referee or jaw a little smack to your opponent, but after the game, you usually end up feeling pretty dumb. Eventually, you learn that letting your game do the talking is the best route to take. No one can argue with results. No one can deny you’re good when you let your game speak volumes for you. So, if you think you’re hot stuff, great, show it, don’t tell it. If you think a kid on the other team is the world’s biggest moron, channel your frustration to perform at a higher level. All too often great players let things get to them, and their performance suffers. Don’t play that game, and regardless of the outcome, you will be respected. That’s the one thing that has the potential to endure in your memory. That’s why you take the field and run late night practices during midterms week. Respect.
