Encouraging connection is the beauty of sport. If you’ve known me for any length of time, you’ve heard me quote C.S. Lewis’ “The Four Loves” when he says friendship begins with the quote, “Really? You, too? I thought I was the only one!” This realization allows for pick-up games at the local Y. It allows for organized races in support of cancer awareness or seeking an end to domestic violence. It allows for sold-out crowds and victory parades. The goal is unity. The goal is togetherness. The goal is high fives, fist bumps, beast quakes, and post-race after parties.
