Great analogy. One of his good friends races and is trying hard (and borderline) to go pro. We've been to some of the races. It's all out or your not in the race.
Well the game is over and he has to deal with some good news and some bad. He had one of his better games and ended with high scorer for both teams with 17 (5 3's and 2-6 from the foul line). The bad news is they lost the game. Played an awesome defense, and never took a hit on the lip. Amen to that.
Thing is, he never would have regretted playing. Hit or no hit.
Playing basketball, riding moto-x or using power tools. There are risks and consequences. Understand the risks, respect your opponent (and officials
), except the consequences but never let it get in the way of your passions and goals.
Some people love the game ... I love this forum.
Thanks again for the feedback.
Peace and Joy (at least) for the holidays
