When I remembered what a narrow and finite life I should anon awake to! ~Henry David Thoreau

For my entire career, I wanted to be a director. When I was in the theater, it was very difficult to get directing jobs, and I fell into the acting by default. I got in the habit of accepting whatever came my way. Not things that I disagreed with, though. It's not like I had aspirations, well, I did have aspirations to play Hamlet, which I ended up doing. ~James Cromwell

They have a different persona and mindset, and you have to figure out what works best within your communication with that athlete.
