| That video is of the Power Team. I have seen them live -- they are a Christian witness group. I doubt they use steroids. Seeing them live is very interesting. All the things they try don't always work. Sometimes someone will try and not do it and then the another guy will give it a go. And they are not a big as they looked on the video. They are just very well built
Would I take a "magic pill" to become a better player if it had the chance to radically shorten my live -- no way.
Some are blessed with great ability and the discipline to make it happen. Some have one or the other.
I enjoy my practice sessions. I enjoy being maybe the best player in town -- or maybe the county (it is a REALLY small county). I also know several players that probably out play me to boot. So make that the second, or third best.
I love to play. I love to practice. I am a fairly gifted conductor. I love sharing my skills when possible. When I was in college I had a chance to move up and on. I didn't. But that has never diminished my love of playing -- and even practicing.
