Another in the occasional Being Human series of posts.
Nicola posted this today. And I love it. I love that these young women are so brilliant at this. I would have killed for mad body skills like this as a young woman. I always admired the girls I knew who were good at sports, and this… well, it combines grace and talent and skill and a hundred split-second decisions about physics and geometry, and I just stand in awe.
And they make it look so easy. I just love their absolute sense of expertise, their genuine pleasure in making the shots, and the total lack of any body language that “apologizes” for either. And the ending is priceless, all the more so because it’s not that she didn’t make the cool shot, it’s just not the cool shot she was going for…
Anyway, go watch, and enjoy. I sure did.
Edited to add: Aha… it turns out that this is a viral marketing video from Nike. Well, here’s what I think about that.
