What have you learned about teamwork from playing sports?

Do you have any long term athletic goals?
“Soccer is an amazing sport and I love it; however, I am not planning to
play soccer during my college years because I want to focus more on my education. Also, people only see me as an athlete and I want people to see that I am also intelligent.”
