Athletes endured a year-long drought of practices and competitions, making this year a difficult time for the sports world. Student athletes and professionals struggled to get by without the company of their beloved sport. Efforts have been made to get regular practices and sporting events up and operating again, as well as incorporating new health guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Masks are now required for athletes to wear, and crowds have been limited, if not prohibited, in certain sporting events. The world of sports may look different now, but these images showcase the great, everlasting passion that athletes hold for their sport. (Photo: Kaitlin Balasaygun/Project Adviser: R. Leung)
