Here is a quote that I read today on a track website called LetsRun.com. I couldn't have said it better had I said it myself so I thought I would share it.
Quote of the Day:
"I am as passionate about sport as ever. It is not about winning at all costs but about fulfilling one's potential. When I lined up I was never thinking about getting one over on my opponents - I was concerned with bettering myself as an athlete and as a human being. That is the essence of sport"
-David Hemery, who ran 48.12 for the hurdles to smash the world record and win gold at the 1968 Olympics.

thats classic - self improvement over competition
We should all apply that principle to our daily lives.
thats the truth...people are so caught up in the acalaids in sports and not the meaning of self growth and team work...
oohh...i love that quote....very deep
Incredible quote! It's too bad that our athletes today do not value the sports they participate in, but then again, I blame the corporate executives for this more than anyone else.
