I didn't play football because I have the know all to recongnize I may be in the way. Plus I feel it's too hard to judge a persons success based on the actions of a whole team. There are so many talented athletes that will never be seen because the rest of the team is average.

Running over the bad swimmers is the mentality of a lot of triathletes. Not a good one. Don't feel bad about not being the next phelps, just feel bad when you get hurt because your not prepared.
