Whether it be learning to work as a team and collaborate to reach a shared goal—a skill that’s ultimately helpful to any relationship, from career to personal—or that success requires dedication, consistency, and hard work, the field or court plays a monumental role in the character formation of athletes as they leave college and professional sports behind.
