Golf is the only game I know of that actually becomes harder the longer you play it.
I’m worse at what I do best.
By 2012, my game was shot. You're sitting on your chair watching players' leagues below you play shots you can't. That destroyed me.
World class players don't become rubbish overnight, especially over one tour.
I've lost my writing skills since college. I couldn't write a book. It would take a long time.
I can no longer play at a level I was accustomed to in the past.
When guys get to a certain age or certain level in their career maybe they don't do as much or work as hard so they start to lose some of that stuff. It's inevitable that at some point your going to lose most of what you've had.
Every day that you don't practice is a day you're getting worse.
My court skills may have atrophied.
It is not easy to go away and come back. One year out of MMA is like five years out of MMA. When you leave and go do something else, like pro wrestling, you're so far behind the times.
I thought it was too 'glam rock' to practice. The problem is that now I'm a pretty bad guitar player.
I was for a minor amount of time but I was probably a better pianist at 15 than I am now.
Coaching courses are still much too theoretical, and this is what you see reflected in the basic technical skills of the average player. I even see things deteriorating.
Stale water is a poor drink. Stale skill is worse. And the man who walks in his own footsteps only ends where he began.
I was top-10 once upon a time in this league, and I took a quick drop-off. Like, that's just not normal.
From 20 years of experience hiring artists out of the schools, I know-they get worse every year. They're absolutely ridiculously retarded now.
Long-term unemployment can make any worker progressively less employable, even after the economy strengthens.
I fear that I won't get better and that I won't have time to practice. To be called a "jazz musician" - it's a big responsibility.
Most writers tend to get worse rather than better. I'm determined to be one that gets better.
