It's all nostalgia colored glasses and I understand life is better and easier today but man, those are some super fond memories.
Easier, yes. Better? Debatable.
I think there's something to be said for the simple way we used to live. We appreciated things more...often because we had to work harder for it. Communicating was more personal, as phone calls and hand written letters were the only option other than face to face.
I think people are so afraid to be "that guy" guilty of the mortal sin of nostalgia that we don't realize that maybe it's not nostalgia. Maybe things really were better without smart phones, social media and constant distractions.
Maybe the adventure of going out to Blockbuster was better than sitting on your arse scrolling through Netflix.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
