Best Soccer player in history was hypothyroid

I know genetic talk isn't super popular in the Ray Peat sphere, but Ronaldo was a unique player with strengths that you either cannot learn, learn in childhood or can improve - but not to a huge extent. His combination of strength, speed and ball control was pretty unique and he could easily have been the GOAT, if he would have had 80% of the work ethic, motivation and obsession of the other Ronaldo (Cristiano). He also had a great football IQ. Many athletes are dumb as an empty rain barrell in real life, but have very high football/basketball etc. IQ.

@evan-hinkle every body gets corrupted, every body gets sick at some point. but in their prime very few excel to the point of raising the bar for the rest of us

@16charactersitis I guess it’s just a matter of preference. I don’t see any positive contribution to society from sport personally, so for me there’s no greatness inspired. To each their own.

@evan-hinkle how are sports not generally positive

@eduardo-crispino i guess it’s just not for me. Doesn’t interest me, seems kinda destructive, but like whatever you like.

@evan-hinkle you don’t even enjoy engaging in any sport personally? not even dance or basketball one on one for example? It can be elevated to an art. I agree simple running or swimming laps can be dulling.

@16charactersitis I’ve been trying to teach my children how to throw a frisbee lately, maybe that counts?

@evan-hinkle sure does. A boomerang would be fine too

If they have mastered the frisbee you can register them at a table tennis club. The frisbee motion is like the backhand topspin motion in table tennis.
