[NSRCA-discussion] [Fwd: Proposal]

[seefo at san.rr.com]

What exactly is a casual competitor? 

I'm being serious here. Someone who doesn't put in the time necessary 
to be at their best cannot expect to win contests, and you certainly 
cannot change the sport so these people CAN win. Most of us have other 
things to do that take up our time. That's life. I can't practice every 
day, but at the same time, I don't expect Quique, Andrew, or Jason, or 
anyone else to make concessions to me because they can and do put in 
the time.

A person who cannot devote the time necessary to be at the top of their 
game, should have enough character and intelligence to accept that 
fact. At that point they have 3 choices. 

1) Compete and HAVE FUN at the level they can currently.
2) Devote more time and energy to the competition and get better.
3) Move on to something else.

People need to remember that competition is, and SHOULD BE unforgiving 
of excuses.
