What Olympians understand about American greatness that Trump doesn’t
I see in some of the comments from U.S. Olympians an attitude they learned in sport that can help the rest of us in the country understand what greatness is. Athletes who have gotten to this level of accomplishment have a passion and love for their sport, and understand and value its traditions and standards of excellence. They are able to acknowledge where they fall short and what their own weaknesses are. They can learn from their failures and mistakes. This is how they improve and eventually become great.
