When I was little I thought jockeys were called that because horses were jocks, hence where we got the term thus making horses the truest athletes. Enthusiasm and skill at sport made us superhuman, or horselike. I think Jokic would agree
The article connects to The Revenant because both show how being wounded doesn’t make you weak — it makes you dangerous. Just like Hugh Glass in the movie, sometimes pain and struggle bring out a survival instinct and drive that people didn’t expect
This should go into the compendium of great writing about Jokic when he retires
Really kind, thank you!
