What Are You Playing For?

"...I hadn't come that far to quit. And we hadn't come that far as a team to quit either. We could have lamented our misfortune, packed up, and headed home. But something was brewing. Something going on that the fans at Lambeau and the people watching on television couldn't see. They had no idea how hard we had worked to get where we were. They had no idea of the desire burning in the belly of each player on our team. And they had no idea how much the people of New Orleans meant to us. We were playing for them."

"Pienaar, the twenty-eight year old general, reminded his teammates of their higher purpose in the interval before play resumed. 'Look around you', he told his weary troops.    'See those flags? Play for those people. This is our chance. We have to do this for South Africa. Let's be world champions."
John Carlin - "Playing The Enemy: Nelson Mandela And The Game That Made A Nation

So, who or what are you playing for? When you play for something bigger than yourself, you will feel more empowered and will play with greater passion and perseverance.
