Random Story - Relevant Though

I come from a Rugby town . Gloucetser ! I think at one stage in recent history , Gloucestershire had more Rugby teams per square foot and per poplation than anywhere else in the world , I think that may still apply.

However my love was football so as a pretty talented footballer it was difficult getting any sort of recognition . As a teenager who loved the game i probably spent as much time playing rugby as i did football !!

As i grew older , late teens early twentys , i was fortunate to play with a group of
pretty talent players , one in particular shone !! sadly he was a little small at around 16 17 18 when most pros would be picked . As a gruop of friends we all had varying levels of succes at semi pro footbal .

It sounds really strange but seemingly weeks after his 21st birthday our talented friend suudenly shot up from around 5ft 5 to a massive 6ft 1 , outrageous !!

Anyway this could do nothing but improve his chances of making it to the dizzy heights of proffesional football , we had all heard of Kevin Keegan back then
started playing pro football at 23 !! so we still had a chance

Finally despite a series of unfortunate events i.e postponemnet of a trial , acceptance of a trial and then the sacking of the manager who was about to employ him , he finally made it ( thats a story about determination , maybe another time )

After about 8 to 9 months we were wondering when he was going to play his first game . The season in which he was signed had almost finished , he said he didnt know and that it may be the following season . When we enquired as to what he had been doing his Frustrated cry was " Theyve stuck me in the F&$+ing GYM " They said im to weak

Jsesus !! was our answer , man this guy in our eyes was nt weak no way , but anyway that was what they had done to him nearly a whole season in the gym developing his physique . We could nt believe it, but hey who are we to question professionals !!

So in our wisdom off we went to the gym and incorporated it into our schedules

The relevance !! for goodness sake i here you cry !!

WELL !! weightlifting at the gym is all about pumping iron !! right !! WRONG

Weightlifting , Bodybuilding is not just about pumping iron , in factsome people would argue its only about 50% the other half !! well thats down to dieting and discipline too

If we took my time available to play poker in my current climate , man would i be pumping some iron , and seeing the results right !! Wrong again

Im pumping iron all right but there is not much dicipline and im on a poor poor diet .

So one of my goals this month is to review my hands and study nearly as much as
i play or at least 25%of the time . Poker is as we all know not just about playing
which i have been guilty of in the past but hopefully not in the future

Man that was a long story for a short point !!
