Sports

I love to run track because I believe I have developed a strong emotional connection with teams and athletes through sharing values, beliefs, and experience. To me track is so exciting, with an atmosphere and energy that's unlike anything else. I love the feeling when your team or you wins. You can feel a sense of accomplishment that boosts your self-esteem and confidence. To me Track and field is a very trilling sport that  surrounds various events, from sprints (which I personally do) to long distance runs, jumps, and throws.
