Billions of people on this planet spend far too much time watching others aggressively pursue games with the throw, bounce, and kick of a ball.

It’s hilariously nonsensical.

If you can tell me every year’s pitching rotation of the San Francisco Giants for the past 30 years but can’t tell me what your son is increasingly fascinated by in his formative years, you’re failing as a father, plain and simple.

The glorification of these kinds of athletes is strange at best.

What is most confusing is that people rarely take the lessons from the people they’re so frequently observing and discussing and applying them to their lives.

This is most likely due to the fact that most are watching these sports to fill a void of consciousness.

But there are truly valuable lessons one can strip from the greatest minds and forces of will who have ever existed who just so happened to apply those minds and wills towards games with a ball.

These are some of those lessons.
