I learned about the very nature of people. People are kind-hearted, they want friendships and relationships as much as I do, if not more. They want relationships and friendships that make their time together more enjoyable. Whether or not you are their opponent, whether you are pitted against them in a competition or not, in the breaks of that competition they want to be friendly, to have a relationship. This has been the case with most of my opponents over the years, I have learned more about sports and that the people who play them are people too, with feelings and emotions, they are caring people. There are only a few instances where this lesson I had learned so many times was called into question, the times I played Blue Springs. As I explained before, they were rude to me and my teammates, it seemed like they wanted nothing to do with me. They questioned the lessons I had learned from all my other opponents, pushed the limits and tried to outdo me. Fortunately, the lesson my opponents had taught me was stronger than the one I had learned from the films that the players on this team seemed to be trying to reinforce. I was able to be strong in my morals derived from such strong lessons and remain the “greatest”.
