Robby Latner . I think of him every time I hear Little Miss Can't Be Wrong.  His mother is the Spaniard. (see my bar fight team) I had a tiny part in his starting collge, and he is still there! Against the odds, no doubt. He hates English and only has charmed his way through a lot of classes. But this would charm any teacher. From the heart and facebook. Poetry, and I love it:

People don't play sports because its fun. Ask any athlete, most of them hate it, but they couldn't imagine their life with out it. Its part of them, the love/hate relationship. Its what they live for. They live for the practices, parties, cheers, long bus rides, invitationals, countless pairs of different types of shoes, water, Gatorade, & coaches you hate but appreciate. They live for the way it ...feels when they beat the other team, and knowing those two extra sprints they ran in practice were worth it. They live for the way they become a family with their team, they live for the countless hours of work they put in order to compete at their very best. They live for the competition, they live for the teammates, the practices, the memories, the pain, its who they are. It's who we are.
