Vantage

Sports fans understand vantage but fail to except the players lack of having one. From the stands of the stadium or the multiple camera angles on a screen fans have a vantage point that provokes aggression when mistakes happen. How could he miss that, how could he not see that, so on so forth.

Vantage points work both ways. Just like spectators become angered by mishaps and mistakes sometimes the players shock those watching by pulling off an amazing feat that no one even saw coming. Because their vantage point was in their favor. What we fail to realize is this fact makes them human rather than superhuman. Performance and skill are important but recognizing an opportunity and seeing things in advance is what creates magic.
