Is it true...??

Question

My son beat me today on the last game of Downball/four square.

But I was wondering:

They say "you're only as good as your last game!"

So does this mean I am 'a loser' at this sport even though in general I have not lost a match in the past 2 years??

... and if this famous saying is true:

Where would we place the greatest sportsman of this known era: 'Donald Bradman' - who averaged, in cricket, almost 100 runs with the bat per inning, as in his very last inning, he was out for 'a Duck' - no runs at all??!!

If a player was only as good as his last run, Donalsd Bradman would have to be classified as amongst the worst batsmen in history!!!!!!!??

Answer 1

The saying is not true as your son would have you believe.  He had a good round and finally won a match.

Remind him of another saying....."even a blind hog finds an acorn every once in awhile".  =)

Answer 2

Look at it from another angle.  If you were complete trash for your whole life, then have one lucky round and retire, does that make you a good golfer?

Answer 3

Yeah, you're toast, hang it up.

Answer 4

lol i think this saying is load of bull.  cause if people were only as good as there last game no1 would ever get better at what they do.
