The story of Icarus is one synonymous with sporting superstars. As legend goes, Icarus and his father were imprisoned by King Minos of Crete. In an effort to free himself and his son, Icarus’ father – master craftsman Daedalus – constructed two sets of wings made from wax and feathers. Daedalus imparted in his son two pieces of advice: Do not fly too low or the wings will get wet, nor fly too high or the wax will melt and fall from the heavens. Once Icarus soared through the sky, he was consumed by the ability to fly and forgot his father’s advice and continued to fly higher and higher.
