I was so passionate about the sport that I would idly hold a tennis ball and just sniff it. I became good enough that I was second man on the varsity tennis team of my 3,000-student California high school as a freshman. #2 The author went on to say that great writers are often obsessed with their literary perfectionism, and that it takes them hours to watch half a football game. This is characteristic of great writers. #3 Discipline is everything in life. It is important in the arts, business, athletics, and academics. It is especially important in spiritual matters. None of us can claim an innate spiritual advantage. #4 The word train is from the Greek word gumnos, which means naked. In traditional Greek athletic contests, the participants competed without clothing, so as not to be encumbered.
