“Every athlete invariably yearns for the easy victory. But what is to be gleaned from such a fortuitous event? Not much. It's great for insatiable cravings of the ego. But it's an utter failure as a learning experience. Conversely, when things go horribly awry you are tested. Because obstacles force you to make decisions. And it's those decisions that reveal character.”
