The victors were memorialized in statues and also in victory songs‚ and commissioned from famous poets. Today‚ the Olympic Games are

    a Student-athlete. I am a student-athlete. Although many are called by this name‚ few are actually both. I pride myself on being able to call myself a true student-athlete.

This is due to the fact that in today’s high school sports venue‚ being a true student-athlete has become a very cumbersome task. I guess I’m not what you would call a “star” athlete. I’m the guy
