The athlete can respond in one of two ways: Yield to the pain and selfdoubt or decide that fear will not determine his or her potential.

As they get older, and change, you eagerly continue to turn pages of your lives together, studying and empathizing with a person that you do not need to be defensive or suspicious of. ”
