Summary
Your dad never said he wanted a boy. He says he never said it too. He says he wouldn’t have changed a thing. Same same but different. There are universal standards for technique. For preparation. If you’re mediocre at the end of the day, he says, that’s on the competition. Those women weren’t good enough to make you great.
