My Athletic Experience “People don’t play sports, because it’s fun. Ask any athlete, most of them despise it, but couldn’t imagine life without it.” In all four years of being a Bronco athlete I have learned; sports are my life, quitting isn’t the answer, to push myself as hard as I can go to succeed, good hand-eye coordination, to take care of my body, stay healthy, to find another way around an obstacle, to understand the game better, losing is not always bad, to have quick feet, to fix my errors, always have a good attitude, respect others and self, to always have confidence in myself and my team, the basic knowledge, how to prepare myself, to follow your dreams and dexterity skills.
