We would also go to parks and flyer cars during sporting events.

I use my 2% spread to fix things on my road bike and other small hobbies to keep my mind occupied till the next deal comes along and I can go into "Sport Mode" again.

Otherwise, its like asking for someone to help you get good at sports.
