So! I have a topic that's been itching at the
back of my mind since my first high school tournament
and that's persisted ever since.
I totally
understand the drive to become a great player, but it's not
(at least at this point in my life) for me. I'm a
player who plays because I enjoy going to tournaments,
hanging out with friends, etc., and I struggled a lot
with my desire to become a really good player (rather
than the niche-prone, streakish player I am today)
before realizing that my quest to learn to score lots of
points was both interfering with my enjoyment of QB and
totally undermining my confidence.
So here's my
question: we've all been to tournaments where some (often
though not always very good) players not only do not
seem to enjoy playing, but seem to treat playing QB
less like an extracurricular activity and more like a
painful moral obligation.
What's the
point?
Discuss.
