Dear Lord, in the battle that goes on through life, I ask but a field that is fair, a chance that is equal with all in the strife, and courage to strive and to bear. And if I should win, let it be by the code with my faith and my honor held high. And if I should lose, let me stand by the road and cheer as the winners go by. ​Amen ” - Athlete's Prayer
