I was going to say both.  Even though you said choose one.

But, I will say Sapientia.  It means wisdom, discernment.  It also means (skilled practice). 
So, having Sapientia, one will be wise enough to have the fortitude to keep going.  If they have 'skilled practice' then it leads one to believe that they will not give up, that they will keep going and that they have the courage to do so.

One cannot be wise OR have courage on the soccer field unless one wants to not be a good player.  You have to be able to get in and mix it up, but be wise enough to know when and how.

I would say that there are very few players (if any) who play at the P1 or P2 level with only one of these traits.  They may excel in one or the other, but never have I really seen a player with only one of them.
