The sport ethic has been a guideline for any athlete
throughout history. It was created and enforced through coaches, teammates, and
the public. Robert Hughes defines the four dimensions of sport ethic as making
sacrifices for the game, taking risks, pushing the limits, and seeking
distinction(Hughes 307) Athletes conform to this set of beliefs because it’s
almost the only way to success. The world has accepted these beliefs and any
diversion from them is a setback. I’ve experienced all of these dimensions.
I’ve put in countless hours of practice when playing lacrosse and soccer
throughout my life. I’ve found myself taking risks when skiing, because the only
way to get better is to put yourself into situations you’re not entirely
comfortable with and push your limits.
