God written in sports

"There are limits to the effect of sport on life. At the same time, in those moments when you're on the court, it's all reduced to these bursts of energy, and you're testing yourself and you can make some connections, and some beautiful things can happen inside those lines.

Another example is what happened out in Washington State, when the softball player hurt her knee and the girls decided to carry her (profiled in "The Way it Should Be"). That cost them a run, but people all around the world were inspired by such a simple act of decency. It was only a game, but in the moment, it was bigger than that, and when you find such moments, it can be really exciting to tell the whole story." ~ Thomas Lake
