Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

Well, it comes down to the fact that professional athletes strive to be the best of the best.

Obviously we don't need everyone to practice those skills at that level; if we did, then we'd be out of luck because only a small minority is even physically capable of doing so.

But to say that practicing those sports doesn't have practical benefits is another matter, especially at the amateur level.

Like, you could apply it to any field. If the best chef in the world disappeared, we'd probably be fine. But that doesn't mean that cooking is a useless skill in general.
