We recently met up with our friend Tom. He works in IT—a world of logic, structure, constant calculations.
He puts it this way:
“For me, all the sports I do are a way to disconnect from the routine, mental chatter and really clear my mind.”
“As a software developer, I spend most of my day thinking in a very logical, structured way, constantly weighing risks andoutcomes.”
That’s exactly why sports became something else for him. A contrast. A personal escape.
“If I applied that same mindset to my personal life, I probably wouldn’t be doing any of these sports at all.”
“So in a way, they’re my release valve, an escape from the logical into something more intuitive and creative. Sports like these are all about feel, flow, and style and that contrast is exactly what I love about them.”
