For a kid, sport is fun, it is pure release, it brings a smile. But innocence gets lost in competition, fun is obscured by results. You are not a child at play, but an athlete at work. It is a different kind of fun, an altered adult pleasure. But for those rare moments when you start performing well, and success flows, perfect 10s coming easily, sport returns to what it initially was. Unadulterated fun. This is how you dreamed it would be.
