Why Do I Play?

How often have you asked yourself the question, "why do I play"?  For most, I bet the answer is not often or never because there isn't usually a reason to ask.  We started playing at a young age because it was the thing to do, it got us involved and active, or quite simply, your parents just signed you up.  But knowing why you play is important towards creating your success.  When you have an intention for what you do and know what you want from what you're choosing to do, you perform with more purpose.  You'll practice harder, you'll focus better, and you'll enjoy it more.  You'll shift from going through the motions because it's what you've always done to connecting to your passion for the sport.  So before your next practice, race, or game ask yourself "why do you I play"?  You may be not only be surprised by the answer, but even more so from the result.
