Don't let someone make the sport unfun for you. Miller Sports do not build character. They reveal it. The best and fastest way to learn a sport is to watch and imitate a champion. It's now or never.
Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play.
It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting. The first thing is to love your sport. Never do it to please someone else. In sport, mental imagery is used primarily to help you get the best out of yourself in training and competition.
