Professional Volleyballas?

Here is a question to ponder… If you were to take 1 year off and train hardcore during that entire year for one specific thing, how great could you get? I know Abe and I have thought about it. Surely other people have too.

Abe and I believed that if we took a full year off from everything and trained nonstop in beach volleyball, that we could become professionals. If you do not know me or Abe, I am 6’1 ¾ “ and built like James Posey with the athleticism of an average white male, while Abe in his hay day was 6’5”, built like Mike Piazza (circa ’98), and is an above average athlete.

Here are some pros for this thought: At the time we were both young and in fairly good shape, had nothing better to do than dedicate every minute of our lives to it (eat, sleep, and breathe beach volleyball), we work and communicate very well with each other, and we both tan great (semi homo).

And then there are the cons: No previous training in volleyball, no source of income to hire trainer, and I hate getting sand in my butt crack.

Obviously, we didn’t do it or we would be multi-millionaires with huge endorsements while being the face of U.S. beach volleyball, living in Florida or Cali, and bagging lots of Roxy surfer chicks like Adrian Grenier.

Anyone think there is a shot in hell we don't succeed?
