What do you think makes a true athlete? Here's what you've told us so far!
- "A true athlete is someone who does more than just run fast, hit hard, jump high or throw far."
- "A true athlete is someone who does their best"
- "A true athlete uses sport as a tool for self-mastery."
- "A true athlete could be anybody who chooses to be!"
- "A true athlete understands their sporting ability is a valuable tool for making a difference in the world."
- "A true athlete is graceful, aware, flowing, profoundly courageous, and at one with their performance."
- "A true athlete is someone who strives to set an example for others, both on and off the playing field. A true athlete should also embody and reflect diligence, courage, kindness and, above all, respect for his or her fellow athletes."
