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 did. He was good but not great in HS; best attribute was his speed.
A lot of guys develop significantly after HS. Exhibit A: Michael Jordan did not make his varsity HS team in 10th grade. Turned out to be an above average pro according to many.

I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
