You are pretty good I recently had someone tell me that I’m a pretty good volleyball player. That made me think – compared to what? Compared to backyard BBQ jungle ball players, I’m amazing. Compared to the guys on the Olympic team, I’m horrible. I’m a better player than some of the guys that I […]
