Just for fun while we wait for the sport pause to end, what type of personalities do you think gravitate toward specific sports? My thinking, which is probably illogical, is those individuals who like to be in control, coach or manage football and baseball teams. A football coach designs offense and defense plays that regulate players movements on the field when every play begins. It use to be, at all levels, the QB called the plays and even could audible out of it. Now days, in college and in high school and jr. high school, the coach(s) call a play, the team lines up to run that play, then looks to the bench because the coach may call another play. (Drives me nuts,) In baseball, think about all the ways the manager or coach , by signs, control the outset of action from hitters, runners, what pitch to be thrown, to defensive shifts. (New this coming season, MLB is going to "deaden" the ball to try to get hitters cut down on their upper cut swings.)
A basketball coach, wants to have control like football and baseball coaches, but eases up on control and tries to teach players how to react to offense and defense situations in a uniform way. But the individual player's talent and personalities does not lend itself to complete control.
A hockey coach seems to have a "whatever" personality. Because no matter how much a team practices precise maneuvers, that darn puck seems to have a "mind of its own," bouncing all over the place, sometimes even hiding from view even the coach cannot see it!
Your Thoughts???
