I agree, you get better talent, work hard plan carefully all to minimize the effects of "the will of the football gods". I agree with you totally on that point. I was just pointing out that those examples you mentioned weren't luck. SpeedFlex27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If football was broken down to it's minutiae of motion and forces no action would be found to be random, physics could explain every action of the ball completely. Without a detailed description or understanding of these forces people conveniently attribute these events to "luck" or "the hand of God", neither of which is real. If you are interested in exploring the concept of luck vs non-local causality, you may wish to research the work of the late Princeton Physics prof Dr. Robert Jahn. His research produced strong evidence that consciousness mediates implicate matter and events. Wanna-B-Fanboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not luck, that is random chance - a basic calculation of odds. Winning the lottery three times - now that's luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
