Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #38848 Inversion
Instructions
When    I    talk    about    practice,    I    mean    something    individual.    If    you    look    at    professional    golfers    or    tennis    players,    you    will    observe    that    practice    the    basis    of    their    preparation    for    tournaments.    Of    course    it    does,    these    are    individual    sports.    Training    is    simply    doing    the    physical    work    necessary    to    be    sufficiently    fit,    but    practice    entails    making    an    analysis    of    one's    game,    locating    its    weak    points,    and    working    to    them.    If    your    opponent    keeps    winning    points    by    serving    high    to    your    backhand,    there's    no    place    to    hide;    you    either    have    to    the    weakness,    or    you'll    keep    losing    to    him.    He'll    exploit    your    weaknesses    mercilessly.    Part    of    what    is    fascinating,    and    slightly    repellent,    about    sport    lies    in    that    curious    inversion    of    values      much    that    we    admire    in    ordinary    life        humility,    compassion,    unwillingness    to    take    advantage    of    the    weakness    of    others        is    reversed    on    the    field    of    play.    Professional    sport    is    all    about    winning.    And,    within    the    more    you    practise    (and    the    more    you    train),    the    better    your    chances    of    doing    so.
