Ironically, In the context of irish sports, athletes and spectators use the term “unlucky” whenever a mistake is made or there is an unfortunate outcome. It’s as if to disassociate human error from “the will of God”.

It’s human nature to link positive outcomes to self worth and negative outcomes to chance. In that vein, would you also associate being “unlucky” to the amount of work and grind that people put in?

Like a friend of mine said: "More I practice with my team, more lucky I get". I think lucky is what we have, who we are. Different people, different stories, times, different lucky. Good article Cody, thanks for share it. Say hi to your father.
