One of Connie's favorite quotes is:"This is your first game.
I hope you win.
I hope you win for your sake - not mine.
Because winning is nice.
It's a good feeling.
Like the whole world is yours.
But it passes, this feeling.
And what lasts is what you've learned.
And what you learned about is life.
That's what sports is all about - Life.
The whole thing is played out in the afternoon.
The happiness of life.
The miseries - the joy - the...Expand for more
heartaches.
There's no telling what will turn up.
There's no telling whether they'll toss
you out in the first 5 minutes or
whether you'll stay for the long haul.
There's no telling how you'll do
You might be a hero, or absolutely nothing.
Too much depends on chance.
Or how the ball bounces.
I'm not talking about the game.
I'm talking about life.
But it's life that that the game is all about.
Just as I said.
Because every game is life.
And life is a game.
A serious one - dead serious.
But that's what you do with serious things.
You do your best. You take what comes.
You take what comes - and run with it.
Winning is fun. Sure.
But winning isn't the point.
Wanting to win is the point.
Not giving up is the point.
Never being satisfied with what you've done is the point.
Never letting up is the point
Never letting anyone down is the point.
Play to win. Sure.
But lose like a champion.
Because it's not winning that counts.
What counts is trying.
