RYAN DUNGEY
What does it mean to be number one? The champion, deserving of praise, recognized in their entirety? Yes, all
of the above. With the spotlight always cast upon them, a smile reflects the satisfaction of knowing they’re the best; at least to the crowd that views them.
When criticism comes along, the
number one is first
