As Cerutty wrote, the true athlete is a thoughtful person,a person of character who is curious,ambitious,eager to learn and ready to confront the challenges they encounter in their sport and life. Too many athletes who who say they desire success in sports today, believe the beginning and end of their quest is confined to the practice field.
