KARACHI: As far as endorsements go, it doesnt get better than one from the US Secretary of State. Hilary Clinton has come out in support of sports while announcing a new partnership between ESPNW Global Sports Mentoring Program and the US Department of State.

Sports helped me to learn how to be part of a team. It also helped me learn how to lose. You cant win every time you go out, and you have to figure out what youre made of after you do lose and whether youre ready to get up and keep going, said Clinton at a press conference announcing the collaboration.

Sport is not bound to certain boundaries but is instilled in our lives through creating the spirit needed to improve our confidence, self-esteem, ability to work in teams, ability to lead and ability to focus on and accomplish goals.

Promoting sports can empower people with extraordinary talents and help bring up influential leaders and change-inspiring mentors.
