...respects more than academics, also teach the virtue of patience: talent alone does not always assure victory—it must be cultivated, refined, and tirelessly practiced. And even then, all the innumerable variables that come into play in a match—just as in life—cannot be accounted for ahead of time. The outcome of a game then, while supremely important, is not the sole measure of the competitors’ worth—the ability to realize that in both sports and life is a virtue neither acquired nor honored often enough in this...
