What Do Sports and Life Have in Common?
Parish, Thomas S.; Washington, Sean
Education, v127 n4 p545-546 Sum 2007
What do sports and life have in common? Well, to begin with, sports are really like a small subset (or a microcosm) of life. For example, to be successful in life (or in sports) we are required to play to our STRENGTHS, and not to our WEAKNESSES. In other words, each person in sports and in life should always seek to find POSITIVE alternatives, and avoid NEGATIVE ones. How this might be accomplished will be the focus of this brief paper.
