Ahh, I'm postulating a bit.

>I'm no sure if that's all true of if it's anything more than correlation, but it makes some sense as a hypothesis.

As I said, I could be wrong. But we know that other fields like management, fashion, music, etc are dominated by risk takers. It may not be true of sports or all sports, but you could imagine that a risk taking basketball player, football QB or running back, soccer forward, or similar players tend to be risk takers.

Again, I could be wrong.

Please stop explaining yourself. They're trolling you.
I'm not trolling here. The people I know who have been successful athletes developed as a result of discipline and hard work, not because of risk-taking, and certainly not to their own detriment.
I don't really mind, and it was only one comment. I'm happy to explain myself when I can add clarity.
