Sports had a very big impact in my life. I met a lot of my good friends playing basketball, and I got closer to others while playing constantly with them. I think sports teach people a lot of life lessons. How hard work pays off, the bitterness of defeat, and the motivation one gets after coming up short. I don't have a kid, but if I did, I would definitely want them to play some sort of sport, and that could also be our bonding.
