As a kid most of us dreamed of being pro athletes. But, gee, there are so many downsides.
I once spent a couple of hours with a great player who was smart, had a great career, and a full career after sports. But, he was most famous for playing the worst game of his life when it mattered most. And he couldn’t stop talking about it. It was like he was in a trance. He sounded like the brainwashed guys in MANCHURIAN CANIDATE. It was sad. It really damaged him.
