Brooks: Baseball or Soccer?
Baseball is a team sport, but it is basically an accumulation of individual activities. Throwing a strike, hitting a line drive or fielding a grounder is primarily an individual achievement. The team that performs the most individual tasks well will probably win the game.
Soccer is not like that. In soccer, almost no task, except the penalty kick and a few others, is intrinsically individual.
.. Most of us spend our days thinking we are playing baseball, but we are really playing soccer.
.. Genius is in practice perceiving more than the conscious reasoning.
