>be me>Growing up sports were hard>Uncoordinated as shit>Can't wash dishes without soap ending up across the other side of the room>Can't throw paper in a trash can without it missing, and actually knocking out trash>Can think of countless times where my lack of coordination caused things to be worse>Grow up>Join school's lifting club>Get strong>Get the physique I've always wanted>Still uncoordinated>Get pissed off>Get into various sports vowing to become average>Play soccer>In 1 year, can now play pickup games, defend against failed D3 athletes, become main striker of my team, develop amazing game sense and finding gaps in opposing team>Literally just game-IQ mogging people rather than doing tricks to play>Get into volleyball>In a year, predict where ball's going to be>Make amazing passes to my setter>etc.I think that my lack of coordination made me focus so damn hard and try so hard that it actually raised my ceiling. I see so many people who, without even trying, are naturally better than me. They acquire skills faster, learn shit faster, but then never commit. I think even though I have a lower floor, I have a higher ceiling.
Holy shit I meant to post this in /fit/. Can The janitors clean this one up?
