bent champion point vision
The Vision of a Champion is someone who is bent over, drenched in sweat, and the point of exhaustion, when no one else is watching.
credit difficult game huge playing rewards
This game rewards you for playing with huge hearts. I just credit their mentality. They made it very difficult for us to play.
games lack liked reminded standing type
This reminded me of the games we used to play in the '70s and '80s up here with everyone standing around the field. We are going to big stadiums, but they lack intimacy, and I liked to be able to come back to this type of atmosphere.

Competitive drive is not governed by innate ability, but by self-discipline and desire
