Your first RESPONSIBILITY is to yourself and your talent: use it well. RESPONSE-ABILITY is the ability to respond appropriately in any situation. 'Appropriately' means choosing a response which helps develop yourself, your colleagues, your team, and your school to the fullest degree. The response may be offering to re-do a hard training set because you weren't happy with your performance, it may be challenging for a relay spot against your best friend because you are convinced the team will be faster, it may be suggesting you step down from a relay team in favor of someone you've had a disagreement with because you are convinced the team will be faster. You must choose; but choose wisely.
