Finally an explaination
Another weekend and another PGA tour win for Tiger Woods. The dude is unbelievable. He's up there with Allen Iverson as the best athlete on Earth. Nobody responded the last time I asked why he's so good, so I'll have to take it upon myself to explain.
The guy is a phenomenally gifted human being. His gifts are equally physical as they are mental. His mental gifts were certainly helped along by having a sports psychologist since his early years. And his physical gifts were brought to their peak by the best golf instructors in the World. He was told from an early age that he was the best golfer ever. And his play did nothing to debunk that belief.
But it isn't only the God given talent and childhood reinforcement that makes him the best. He also has the strongest work ethic of anyone on Tour. Unlike other athletes who are used to being the best, Tiger pushes for improvement when he's already there. Think about all the Heisman Trophy winners who faded in the NFL. Could this be because they didn't have the drive to push beyond their perceived superiority?
Maybe. But Tiger will never stop. He'll break the major record of Jack Nicholas by 5-10. Not too shabby.

You are insane. The reason why some Heisman trophy winners do not make it the NFL is because the game is completely different. How many NFL teams run the option? You are over analizing the situation.
Your friend, Scott W
Good point scott, but maybe they don't have the work ethic to push for constant improvement required for NFL success.
And by the way, I realize that explanation is spelt wrong, but it should be spelt explaination. Why would you drop the i?
