As I was riding down the mountain on my snowboard, I caught an edge causing me to tumble head over heels down the mountain. This happened after years of riding which would I would have assumed rendered me immune to such a simple mistake. This incident again reminded that I will never be a great snowboarder. I just don't have the balance or coordination that is needed. I had a similar experience on Thursday with our most recent city league basketball game. My zero for four shooting from the field reminded that any dreams for athletic glory are out of my reach. The best I can hope for is to enjoy the game. Perhaps, it will also serve as a reminder to focus my efforts in areas where they are more likely to achieve success.
