We came to Dallas to search for the Meaning of Life as it relates to sports, and we found plenty of that. But people in the Metroplex don't seem to care for professional sports as much as they do about high school football or their own golf game. We interviewed a family in Plano whose son attended Plano Senior High School, famous for football. It was fascinating to learn just how seriously people in Plano take their football team, especially in light of the recent Supreme Court ruling that Texas high school students can't pray before football games any more. In Texas, football is a religion.
Golf is also very big in Texas.
We interviewed a sports psychologist who trains amateur and professional athletes alike in using the brains God gave them to improve their performance. And it works. Don't think for a moment that Tiger Woods wins as many tournaments as he does simply because he is a better athlete. Tiger wins largely because his incredible mental conditioning matches or exceeds his physical gifts. We aren't golfers, but even laymen like us are impressed.
