Rugby: A Gentleman’s Game and a View at Life and Career

A rugby game is one of the few field sports that I love watching because it depicts completely my view of life and career as a young professional. Winning here does not rely on a single star player. Unlike other field games, a rugby game is a choreography of men’s sheer prowess, intelligence, passion, and teamwork willed into one. Take a view of your life and career in this way, you will succeed. There’s a lot to be learned in this game that meets the eyes. I would like Victor Cahn to express the rest of what I meant:

"In our country, true teams rarely exist . . . social barriers and personal ambitions have reduced athletes to dissolute cliques or individuals thrown together for mutual profit . . . Yet these rugby players, with their muddied, cracked bodies, are struggling to hold onto a sense of humanity that we in America have lost and are unlikely to regain. The game may only be to move a ball forward on a dirt field, but the task can be accomplished with an unshackled joy and its memories will be a permanent delight. The women and men who plays on that rugby field are more alive than too many of us will ever be. The foolish emptiness we think we perceive in their existence is only our own."
