well you've got that right. It's not worth putting your whole life into it. It's a hobby, and just like some hobbies, people take them to the extreme. You can, however, find balance and success in this endeavor if your mind is right. A good education is a must. I enjoy a lot of the things that some drives many out of the sport. The strict schedule, dieting, constant eating, all mirror how I handle my professional career.
Keep training.....
