The value of sports is that they BUILD your character. The reality is that they will also REVEAL your character. Nobody’ll remember how many points you scored, but they’ll remember how hard you worked/what kind of teammate you were. Like it or not, your character is your legacy!
Good coaches will utilize the best players & those who can help the team win. It’s not about favorites. It’s their job. Your job is to show up, work, compete & be the best you can be. Life is full of competition. Let it motivate you because it doesn’t go away. Use it to fuel you!
