Juan Valdez

What the heck does a Colombian coffee bean picker with his donkey have to do with the greatest sport in the world ? For those of you who don't know about Juan and his ass,he supposedly picked every bean by hand to make the perfect cup of coffee. That is why the Colombian coffee is supposed to be superior,perfect beans making perfect coffee every pot. This is know as consistency. If we could have the perfect game wouldn't we do the same? Play the same way every day ,and always have the same results,wouldn't that be nice. Another correlation would be Dungeons and Dragons,yes I was and still am, a little geeky at times. Same character is used every adventure ,but you have to roll dice for everything that happens except for farting. The flip side to our human imperfections is what makes sports so darn interesting. Could you imagine infallible robots playing sports,where would the excitement of perfection and 0-0 scores? The difference between the club player and the pro is consistency. Sometimes watching a good A or B match is more fun .I like to watch the unnecessary diving and banter between the players. So if you feel like you are not playing well and are getting upset you are probably entertaining someone . So remember Juan Valdez is a fictional character,and if he was real he was probably smuggling cocaine anyway. Be true to yourself and always play hard and always try to get better because in the real world there is not perfection just the desire to be so. Jon "Hit Smarter not Harder"
