Pain is important. I learned the lesson at 12 through a child-directed sandlot football （沙地橄榄球）game.We planned a 41 with a similar team from a nearby town. It never 42 to us to practice or 43 for the game except to do what we had done for years — run around, pass the football and yell. 44 , our opponents（对手）were prepared. At the beginning they defeated us.
lf we were to 45 , we had to prepare and learn the discipline of practice and be 46 . At that moment one of my teammates volunteered to be the captain. His voice is loud and 47 . He focused my attention on the importance of 48 and the reaction to it. We had been pushed around unmercifully by a larger and 49 opponent. On our five-yard line, he told the team he would take the ball on every play 50 we lost it. But from the 51 in his eye, we all knew we’d better not lose it. He ran into the center of the line 52 pads（护具）or helmet to protect him.
