Potential

Every athlete dreams of having his or her "best game."  I believe every athlete that achieves a superb performance generally thinks: "I could have done better."  Yes, I think we can all agree that eventually an athlete  arrives at the conclusion that he or she will not improve a time or score more points or runs.  However I believe that a real athlete can be happy and grateful for certain accomplishments.  Nevertheless, most athletes, at the end of the road think: "I could have done better." Or, "I could have worked harder."  That is just the nature of an athlete.  Satisfaction guaranteed?  Maybe.  But probably not.
