have you ever had to work hard for anything in your life where you're taken down to the point where you have to question everything about what you're doing having to reach deep down relying on your faith including "fighting the good fight" mantra in that you're along side with others trying to achieve something meaningful, not only to those in that "fight" but important to other interested observers as well?
Something that shakes you to your soul with so many obstacles to overcome (injuries, recent history, location, weather, outsider negativity, etc. in this specific case), things that causes the night post Pitt that Shafer describes? Or we're you just entitled and spoon fed all along the way just taking the losers way out of taking pot shots from the sideline?
"It's not the critic that counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the actual arena, the man whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errors and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming, one who strives to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms; who knows the great devotions; who spends himself in a worth cause, who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so at the very least knows that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat"
