Read with interest the article in PGI, and remembered the threads on here about paintballers talent being innate or being learnt.

Funnily enough I played for the first time in a year (or might be two, Im so unsure). It was wierd how after so long away I felt really unsure of my abilities, and felt quite reluctant to make moves that I know I would have made 2 years ago. I felt strangely disjointed.

Also noticed that in brief bursts something would come back to me, and I would make a move or pull something off like I used to. I have to admit I think paintballers are created over born..... although some are born more naturally skilled at those abilities than others.....

I know the feeling. I just came off of a paintball sabbatical, and it seems I've slightly lost touch. Of course, in a way it is a good thing. I can focus on re-learning everything without some of the bad habits I might have picked up back in the day.
