You don't want a docile type of guy because the aggression really helps a player's focus and competitive instincts. In society in general, it's not a good thing to have such high levels. An argument starts, say, with your wife, and it gets up to that heated level and instead of pulling back or maybe taking a walk, you just react to it. That's what happens in sports. That's very functional.
Analysis causes paralysis.
In sports you practice repetition, repetition, repetition, so you will act reflexively. But no one would include on the list a football player majoring in theater at a well-regarded school getting a bit part in a movie over the summer to gain some experience in his intended profession. Amazingly, though, the NCAA threatened to strip Autry of his football eligibility if he accepted the offer. Only after he sued and got a favorable order from a Cook County Circuit Court judge did the NCAA relent. That would help not only Autry but others, including the Florida athlete who got in trouble for writing restaurant reviews for his school paper.
