*FAN SUBMISSION by Charlotte Girnus from Texas.*
What makes a player the best in the World? Is it the player with the most points? It is the player with the most aggression? Most dedication? Many of those thoughts are in a way true, but are these the only things that should depict if the player is really the best?
In my opinion the best player shouldn’t be bashed if they have a bad couple of games, because isn’t that just asking of a person to be a superhuman? It is human to be, once in a while, not on your A game. To me the biggest key to being the best of the best is how you improve to sharpen your game and instincts. The best plays in sports is not always the goal, but the one key play to help create the goal; like when the defense is on top of a player, who creates a goal chance by the player they were defending giving up the puck or ball.
Many people don’t look at the play to create the goal but the person who scored. Many players wouldn’t be were they are today without the team. That is why in my opinion, the superstar thanks the team, while accepting the award which makes a superstar a true superstar.
