A true champion

“A champion is someone who does not settle for that day's practice, that day's competition, that day's performance. They are always striving to be better. They don't live in the past.”
-Briana Scurry

This relates to the odyssey very much, the reason for this is because Odysseus never settles for the days success but always strives in order to do better and concur a bigger task. An example of this is when he ends up on the island with Circa even though he is tempted to stay on the island with the beautiful goddess and can live in happiness his whole life , he knows he must do whats right and travel back to Ithaca to his real family to truly believe he is a true hero.

    I agree with you Alexander, I know Briana Scurry is a true champion and a great soccer player but she does really relate to Odysseus in the ways of how she accomplishes things.
