title: The Champion's Creed: Shared Values of Athletes and Academicians.
abstract: Although the pursuit of sports may be dismissed as unimportant by those in the academic fields, sports are pervasive, and in our society, elite athletes are revered. There are lessons to be appreciated from the training journey and ultimate achievements of such athletes, which parallel the development and sustainment of the academic radiologist on many fronts, including educational training, clinical work, the pursuit of research, and for some, the culmination of a career in a leadership role.
