The most important attribute a player must have is mental toughness.
If you don't love what you do, you won't do it with much conviction or passion.
I played basketball and soccer my freshman year in high school.
The person that said winning isn't everything, never won anything.
Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.
I love watching gymnastics, swimming, and track and field.
