LOVE the Rod Laver story!!! I love sports analogies in general.
A favorite quote of mine is from hockey great Wayne Gretzsky. When asked once what made him so much greater than anyone else that had come before him, he thought for a moment and said:
"I don't know; I guess maybe it's because other people skate to where the puck IS, whereas I try to skate to where the puck IS GOING TO BE."
