Q & A

What have you learned playing sports that you use in work/school/life?

I’ve learned that it is ok to fall, but you have to know how to get up. You have to keep training and not give up on a fall. I have learned not to give up - to keep practicing in all things. For example, even tough I sometimes fail at cooking, I keep practicing.
