For a number of years in school, Stephen Varanko III was both an athlete and a leader. Many of the things he learned, he brought with him later on in life. And many of the things he learned, he used to great success.
He says that probably the most important point when it comes to competitive sports is safety. Safety is the one thing that should never be compromised in sports. In fact, most of the rules and regulations in all sports are there for either safety or fair play. Most of the equipment and gear outside of uniforms are also for safety, and as such need to worn at all times.
Many sports are contact sports, and are high-impact. Practicing safety protocols dramatically reduces the risk of getting injured (or worse).
For many athletes, injuries are nightmares, especially if being an athlete is their way of living. Injuries keep athletes from reaching their potential, and ultimately their goals. Being safe is a huge part of keeping their dreams alive, adds Stephen Varanko III.
