As an athlete I can relate to his intensity and desire to be number one. He was focused on that goal and he put his game face on every time he was in a race. He knew what it took and was willing to apply himself to that goal year after year. I admire that. I'm glad you enjoy the Web site.
People can trust what they read on that site.
All the best. I have been a goaltender since the early 1970s and started using this technique a couple of seasons ago in my recreational league. It is a really effective method for blocking the low hard shots that result in a lot of goals. Thanks for your question. I really don't know who started to use the technique you described.
