Through schooling, I attained the literacy skills that have helped me in my childhood involvements, professional studies and gain a…

In the debate over whether success in sports comes from physical prowess or mental agility, Sanneh , the author of “What Could Be Better Than A Touchdown” and Heinrich, the author of Why We Run have similar views, with both authors supporting the idea that mental agility and physical prowess are equally important in sports.
