The adrenaline of performing on stage to a crowd - there's nothing like it.

The advantage doesn't come because you can run more than someone over 90 minutes. The advantage comes when, in the tenth minute, I'm sprinting back and making another guy chase me. By the end of the game, that guy's worn down, but I can still keep going at the same pace.
‐‐ Landon Donovan
