        I used to play open gym volleyball. The same guy would come every week and had been going for years. He was the most dogshit volleyball player I ever met. He played a lot and was extremely unathletic.

              I mean, so he showed up and tried every day? Or did he do regular drills, research on how to improve and implement those suggestions, and do strength and conditioning on the side to improve overall athleticism?

                Have you ever seen the movie Million Dollar Baby? There’s a guy who goes to the boxing gym that they describe as “100% heart, 0% talent.” That character epitomized the guy I’m talking about.
