How do you view sports?

When you think of sports do you only think of team sports such as, baseball, football, and basketball? Or do you think of individual sports such as, tennis, golf, and gymnastics?  There are many different views on sports, but the preparation, hard work, and dedication that goes into all of these sports are equal.  If an athlete wants to be successful, either in a team or individual sport, he/she must have those three goals in mind.  Please comment and let me know if you agree or disagree.  I want to hear your opinions.
