“I've seen myself do stuff on stage that was pretty amazing. I think that would be true for any athlete. Any top athlete will see something that they are very proud of.

“One answer to why public interest in men's tennis has been on the wane in recent years is an essential and unpretty thugishness about the power-baseline style that's become dominant on the tour. Watch Agassi closely sometime...he's amazingly absent of finesse, with movements that look more like a heavy-metal musician's than an athlete's...what a top PBer really resembles is film of the old Soviet Union putting down a rebellion. It's awesome, but brutally so, with a grinding, faceless quality about its power that renders that power curiously dull and empty.” MenYearsLooksHas BeensFilmSportsInterestAnswersQualityWatchesStyleMovementEssentialsMusicianEmptyUnionsAthleteHeavyTennisDullRebellionSovietMetalsDominantSoviet UnionAbsentPublic InterestHeavy MetalFacelessFinesse Author:David Foster Wallace

“If parents are aiming at choosing children who will be good athletes, or great musicians, or who will get into Ivy League schools, or who will be tall enough to make the basketball team, then there is a danger that the life of the child will bear the burden of that expectation; and the risk of disappointment and the cost of disappointment will be even higher than they are now, and even now they can be considerable.” IfsChildrenEnoughSchoolParentRiskTeamDangerBearsHigherCostBasketballMusicianExpectationsAthleteDisappointmentBurdenBe GoodLeagueTallGreat MusicIvyBasketball TeamGreat MusicianIvy LeagueGood AthleteIvy League Schools Author:Michael Sandel

“Look at the great athletes, musician, artists, and writers. They all tap into a source. Some call that source God or soul or spirit or consciousness. The Seven Faces of Intention: creativity, kindness, love, beauty, expansion, abundance, and receptivity. And all seven are expressions of what I imagine that source to look like. The very fact that we exist is proof to me that the nature of that source is creative at its core. And there isn't a person reading this who does not have a gnawing sense inside that there's something they're here to do, something creative.” SoulSpiritArtistReadingLove IsConsciousnessCreativityKindnessCreativeImagineMusicianIntentionSevenAthleteAbundanceImagine ThatGreat AthleteReceptivity Author:Wayne Dyer

“Athletes and musicians make astronomical amounts of money. People get paid $100 million to throw a baseball! Shouldn't we all take less and pass some of that money onto others?
