Isolating just one thing, what would it be?
It seems to me that there are some real differences between what stops people from being pros in different sports, and what sets those professionals apart from the rest of us. But I wonder, if you could isolate just one thing for each sport what would it be?
To my mind, in baseball, the single biggest difference between professionals and city league dudes is the line-in-the-sand around the ability to pitch/hit a ball with movement above 90 MPH.
In lots of other sports (soccer, hockey both leap to mind) it seems like it is the speed of the game.
Whadda think?
