Pool, the sport of kings, is something I should not play. My reasoning behind this is that I am clearly not good at it anymore. My cousins own a pool table, and whenever I was over there I would partake in a game. After winning I would be a gracious winner, and not gloat about my victory at all. Truly I was good; and I now realize I may have lost my talent. I played a game in the SA lounge and was easily defeated by my nemesis Nick and his partner Ben. It seems weird to me because I could and still can always see the direction and angles. When I actually get around to hitting the ball it never goes the right way, this is either because i'm not good at pool or because the table is tilted (seems more logical).
I'd rather use my feet. This is why I can't play pool because i'm a soccer player. I played soccer through high school and developed some pretty awesome control and dangling skills. So clearly my talent must have been drained at some point to allow me to be better at soccer then at pool. So i figure, if i want to be better at pool, I must not be good at soccer. Since I haven't played soccer in about a year I should be slowly pooling my talent and soon enough I could potentially focus it into pool (or school work ... never mind).
Here's a video of some trick shoot that I will be able to do sooner or later.
