Has anybody ever played alongside someone who went on to become a pro athlete? My question is---how much better than everyone else is a future pro?
The best I ever played with seemed pretty good but none of them were anywhere near pro caliber. I'm just trying to imagine what these kind of guys look like in HS.
I'm thinking mainly football but any sport would be relevant.
I played sport in high school with a couple of people who became pro athletes in Australia, one was a lot more talented than everyone else in our team, was just naturally gifted.
The other was nowhere near the best in the team or the competition, he just worked incredibly hard. I would have predicted one to have a long career and but the other was a complete surprise. He was also a really nice guy and everytime I've ran into him has always came up to me and said hello using my name and having a knowledge of my life, we were never close but he is just a genuine guy.
