Epigenetics sounds like an interesting facet of biology indeed. I went ahead and looked into nootropics and as a cognitive rehabilitation clinician, I would really be interested to hear more from someone who uses these and some personal data...my geriatric folks are constantly the target of the marketing for these supplements and I would like to be better informed in the event that a patient is interested in learning more.
Sounds like you played every position but mine, goalkeeper!
Haha! The first few years that I played I was goalkeeper! I was so out of shape and didn’t know how to play so my 8 year old self ‘got stuck’ in the goal. I learned a lot then and loved the position- definitely needs more respect than it’s normally given from my perspective!
Yes, I grew up as a fat kid and it seems to be common for the big kid to be in the position with the least running. I do have great reflexes and hand-eye coordination and continued to play goalie in other sports too but which came first, goal keeping or the skills? Suppose it's one of life's mysteries ;)
