“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the park of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”

President John F. Kennedy

Reflection:  Loosing against another team. The score is 1-0. Wanting to score at least one goal so bad, but not being able to. Wanting to fake a fall but realizing it isn’t fair if that occurred.
