I think this also happened in sports a few times such as when on magical days where I was “in the zone” (where everything slows down and you’re in a trance) and I would score for example a touchdown every time I touched the football and nobody could stop me.
Yet in every facet of athletics I was eventually humbled:
- The Polynesian had more acceleration and power.
- The African was faster and leaped higher.
- The Filipino was quicker and more accurate with his hands.
- The Anglo-Saxon was more calculating (such as in trajectory).
I may have still had an advantage in one facet. Afair, I seemed to have a very high level of adrenaline and aggressiveness-on-demand.
There’s other factors of course such as trained skill level, reaction time, styles, hand-eye coordination, ambidextrousness, determination, consistency, discipline, commitment, etc..
