Gretzky didn't master hockey. His skills wouldn't be able to compete against today's modern players. He was simply the best player at that time.
The best athletes in every sport compete against themselves. If you're the best, the only person that is worth competing against, is yourself.
This goes for hockey, MMA, boxing, and even the sp500 sports like basketball, baseball and golf.
Fair point.
So how is hockey like bitcoin then?
Proof of Work & there's no second best.
BECAUSE ITS THE ALPHA IN THE ROOM. THATS HOW.
I disagree.
In terms of physical ability yes of course.
But not mental. Not even close.
If you can’t consistently break 80 by the time you’re 40 then you should quit the game.
You’re wasting everyone’s time. Mostly your own.
I don't know, letting yourself down is one thing, but letting your teammates/brothers down is on a whole other level.
Goalies are mentally the toughest athletes out there.
Facts on facts on facts 👆👆
Notice how all the goalies are the top analysts or coaches too Nic. They think the game.
Hockey requires you to balance on a tiny piece of metal while warding off enemies at top speed, trying to control an object at the end of a stick, and make split second decisions which requires predicting not only your team mates moves but your opponents.
All at the same time trying not to embarrass your screaming father or disappoint your coach or teammates.
There isn’t a sport on earth with as many intense dynamics.
Hockey is Definitely the GOAT of sports.
