RE: The reality of the glamour and the grime in sports
When i was young i was a swimmer as well and reasonably talented...
But when the time came to either go all in or stay out it was already to late
Fair to say that i sometimes still "what if...". But in the end you have to be happy with the choices you make because most can't be reversed anyway
I was a moderately good swimmer to and then turned to athletics and did really well. Was cut short through injury though at 19, and those what ifs are always there ... but one needs to look at your life and realise that all the good and all the bad TOGETHER got you here. I have a lovely wife and family, and will change it for nothing ... still one wonders how good you really could be
The whatif will always be there, but thats not a bad thing, it pushes us to make better descisions going forward
But always that nagging 'what if' around. It never goes away, we learn to live around it.
