I play water polo and all of my friends that play on the national team probably do not even know what the word humble means. Also in watching professional sports I have not really seen any humble players, but would I be humble if I was the best at what I did.  It is hard to say, with people always talking about how good you are wouldn't it be hard not to let it get to your head.  I think it would so that brings up the question, is it possible to be humble when you are the best at what you do?  I think it is but it is very rare.  For example L.T.  Read More »
