Sports are an expression of self, your brain, body, and skill are your art. Performance art on display for an audience and your peers.

I always loved the rugby pregame message, “go out there and express yourself” instead of the “beat their ass” messaging, because that, to me, is the purest description of playing a sport to your highest capability. No false bravado or inauthentic expression, your game expressed at the level and intensity your skill translates best.

Expression of self in sports means translating the hours of preparation and lifetime of talent and skill development into an opportunity to triumph over another’s same expression. Time, dreams, stories, goals, work, coaching, countless trainings, practices, and games rolled into one competitive paint brush. It’s your recipe, your tactics, your performance, and your execution versus theirs, and the sports Gods determine who triumphs.

Expression by definition is “the process of making known one's thoughts or feelings.” The art in sports is the same as any visual art, “it isn’t supposed to look nice, it’s supposed to make you feel something.” The performances we see in sports are executed by a bunch of humans who have derived meaning in their art, humans who have become professional artists where they can call their ability to express their skills a profession. What you’re seeing are these athletes making known their feelings, their emotions in motion, embodied in the bodies and cuts and the passes and scores. Personal emotions and standards driving the preparation, the competitiveness, fueling the reactions and responses driving the score up and down.

Art by definition is “the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, (sports the visual/physical/dynamic form) producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.” We appreciate this beauty across all sports in the unimaginable highlights on Sportscenter every night.

If this video of @cmcdavid97 & the @EdmontonOilers after game 7 doesn’t make you feel something, feel the emotional beauty and power of sport, or at least the emotional power and toll that which the artist has endured… you don’t know art, or sports.

How can you not be romantic about (insert sport here). It’s impossible not to see it, you just may need reminded of the art in this performance entertainment we consume.

Athletes, Express Yourself.
One love. 🤘🏽
