 When I talk to people who don't like sports, or don't understand sports, I try to explain to them how everything that happens in sports can be carried over to your life. It doesn't matter if you are a teacher, businessman, soldier, etc....there are valuable lessons you can learn and use in your own life. I like to think that my insatiable need for information about baseball helped lead me to becoming a better student, to understanding how people from different cultures/backgrounds can work together to reach a goal, how to push through difficult times, etc. I'm sure some of you are/were the same way.
I'm going to direct you to a Tiger Woods article that is the best thing I've read in a long time. Below is just a snippet, as I don't want to steal from the author, but the entire gauntlet is covered from Tiger's life on the course to his life off the course. It's a great read if you have 10-15 minutes and I'm certain you can learn something from possibly the greatest golfer ever that can help you, or someone you know, in your everyday life. Even if you don't learn anything, it's a very good article:
"Men, especially those who had close relationships, tend to do things that connect them to the memory of their fathers," says Chethik. "They wear their father's old clothes, use their old tools, read their favorite books, listen to their music. It's the natural coping process. A son used to have this man to lean on. Part of the grieving is integrating his father inside himself, so he can still be with him. What Tiger appears to be going through is a healthy process that usually begins to wane in intensity after about 18 months."
