What is heart (in sports)?

Question

what does it mean to have heart because my soccer coach says i need to have heart

Answer 1

Have you ever heard the expression in boxing that even though the fighter lost the fight, he sure had allot of heart.

Answer 2

Heart is when you play the sport because you enjoy it.  You'd still play your hardest and give it your all without getting paid.  Also, having heart is never giving up on yourself or your team mates.  It's a very good thing to have, but also very rare.

Answer 3

i dunno

you gotta love the sport

Answer 4

Heart is to keep going, to get back up when you fall down and keep playing to your potential. Heart is not giving up.

Answer 5

Heart is wanting it more than the next guy.  By having heart you would do anything it took to make yourself the best, even if it caused big sacrafices.  It's hating to lose, but being able at the same time, to convert a loss into motivation to do that much better.  Overall heart is a drive, and desire to win, but also have fun while doing it.  If you're not having fun you obviously don't have heart since you're not enjoying it and wouldn't put your whole self into it.  So you must love it and try your best 110% of the time. Hope that helps!
