i was the team captain of one of the best football squads in the state...
the wrestlers had it much tougher than i. the hours were longer in football (practice, weight training, film, nursing the ol' wounds) but the actual time spent devoted to sport was much more intense when i worked out with the wrestlers in the off-season. those guys went through hell for little recognition around campus. they sure had my respect.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
