Sorry long story, but with a point.
During my tennis high school hey day, on my best state bid as a senior, I was eliminated in a last sectional round, only winning 5 points in the entire match. I tried real real hard. I got destroyed.
Deal was that my opponent needed to hurry and beat me to get to the state track meet. This is where he was a true star.
He did well in both tennis and track, later finishing 5th in the state in tennis. I bet if that tennis was his sport he could have done better.
I know people are "good at sports", many fewer are "great at sports". I notice these people, cause to do well, I have to try hard.
I met Mike Randolph at 2000 worlds. I was a spectator. I was the first to approach him as he walked disappointed away from the crowd, not making the final four ending up fifth. Maybe if disc golf was his sport, he could have made the last card. I heard he's better at ultimate, hard to imagine. He still played awesome as did his opponents. I asked him for the first autograph on my disc.
That disc now also has Ed, Julianna, Climo, Stokely, Schultz, Dr. Rick, Stan Mc Daniels autographs.
