"In sport, a good opponent can bring out the best in a man; the existence of a close rival focuses attention on technique, piles on the pressure, and the constant threat of being beaten keeps ambition burning. In an ideal world, a man would choose his rival, selecting him as carefully as he would a friend but, in reality, circumstance makes the decision for him."
- from The Crossing by Kathy Watson
Love it!

ReplyDeleteReminds me of "as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."
ReplyDeleteDave Scott's legs are scary muscular. Eew.
