Like most superstar athletes with long careers, athletes work hard at their sport all year round when there are no cameras or screaming fans anywhere in sight. The superstars in team sports are usually supported by teammates who help the stars win championships and perform to their potential. The superstars in individual sports, such as snowboarding and tennis, may not have teammates, but they have coaches, trainers and others in their orbit helping them improve their skills and fitness and making sure they can excel year after year.
