> I'm actually finding parts of it a bit unbelievable. I think I could practice all my life and never be as good as Michael Jordan. I haven't even a dribble of athletic ability, and my spacial relations are poor. I could get better, but I could never be spectacular.
This does remind me of a sports article a few years ago when the Detroit Lions changed coaches. The new coach brought along most of his old staff, and one of them remarked that when they were with their previous, much more successful team, they thought they succeeded because they outworked the other teams. But what he saw was that the Lions worked just as hard... but just didn't get the same results. It was kind of an, "Oh crap, this is gonna be harder than I thought" moment for him.
That was a couple coaches ago...
