What do you like about sport: “In sport, you can participate on your own or as a team. Having a team and people you can rely on is great because then you are not just pressuring yourself. Going through something like a competition is hard so it’s better to have teammates who are going through the exact same thing with you.
Participating in sports also lets you know that you can’t always win everything which happens in life so I learnt how to accept that.”
