Very well said! Athlete or not, watch his powerful message!

"Sports will end for all of us someday, but our legacies are carried on by the kind of people we become through our journey," Gabe Dean said to the camera.

Dean is a current NCAA Wresting Champion. In quoting some parts of a letter that his brother sent him last year, he gave us a powerful message that many of us have learned through sports that applies to us in all aspects of life as well.

The part that hit me the hardest and I agree whole-heartedly:

 "It's better to fail then to not risk failure at all. Sports will end for you and all of us someday, but our legacies are carried on by the kind of people we become."
