Blog post 2: Synthesis

I do think that when you are fast or very coordinated it does help you excel in sports differently rather than if you were not so coordinated and slow.  For example me, I am not very big but I am very fast and I am well coordinated and it helps me a lot in basketball because I can beat everyone to the hoop in a fastbreak and then score. Also being coordinated helps because I can dribble the ball and no one can steal it from me. After reading a part in the book "Outliers" I know I must be right because Gladwell's opinion is the same is mine. It did not make me have to rethink the daily question ,I still believe certain people have advantages when it comes to doing well with competitive and other goal orientated activities. Some of the sources he used to make his points are just certain birthdates kids had and most of the kids that were good were born in the month January February or March which meant they were bigger and more prepared. Yes those sources were kind of convincing but it just goes back to what I said.
