I learnt some very valuable lessons from early on about competition.
Never was very athletic...My Primary was a Boxing school we all had to have a go....I got one poke on the nose and knew it wasn't for me.
Later in the Big school.....average at football or rugby....but cross country...I used to plod on and came into my own.....not good...but better than average....I rose in esteem.
Now put me in the water....all them big bruisers that ran rings around me on the football field....all great big jessies...didn't want to get water on their faces....I WAS KING....
And all these kids today are missing out on that...what a shame...what a crime.
