Lately I’ve been thinking about what really makes someone “great.” Not just in sports, but in life overall. Like, my dad always brings up numbers when we talk about athletes — goals, titles, medals. But when I think about it, some of the people I admire most didn’t break records, they just kept showing up and inspiring others. For example, there was a coach at my old school who never won big championships, but every kid respected him. So I wonder — what’s true greatness for you, beyond stats?

Reading this thread reminded me of when I used to volunteer at a community center. We had this older guy who helped kids with homework, and he was there every single day without fail. No one gave him awards, no spotlight, but everyone looked forward to seeing him. I think about him a lot whenever people talk about influence or legacy — because those little, steady acts sometimes leave the deepest marks.
