As I said in the post, I am NOT a fan of any kind of sports. But hometown pride gets me to pay attention to the Spurs when they win the championship.

Some start out well but lose their way, others struggle but get there in the end. I find it fascinating, which is why I love watching tennis, rugby, tiddlywinks...(OK, maybe not tiddlywinks). .-= Rod@tennis ball machines´s last blog ..<a href="http://tennis-ball-machines.net/lobster-tennis-ball-machines/">Lobster tennis ball machines</a> =-.

I agree that someone has to have some talent to succeed in an endeavor - I could never achieve anything as an athlete even I loved sports because I'm a natural-born klutz. :-) However, I think a person with less talent but more passion can be more successful than a person with more talent who doesn't apply himself. Mig,

What about ice skating? That's so magical, so beautiful. I can watch it in wonder for hours and hours. And women's gymnastics too. And even if you don't like anything about these things, there's nothing weird about it. We don't need all to like the same things do we? I agree with you on the cultivating and nurturing the gift from God. However, I've never encountered a person with no talent who achieved something of importance... Talent is relative though... you might be right. I doubt that you don’t like anything about sports. What about ice skating? That’s so magical, so beautiful.
