In athletics, the idea of possibility is presumed. It's not 'if;' it's 'how.'

The idea of prosthetics is a tool. Most people's cell phones are prosthetics. If you leave your cell phone at home, you feel impacted by not having it. It's an important part of your daily function and what you can do in a day.
