Progress is what the athlete searches for. A sign, a hint, a signal. Am I better? It comes incrementally, thousands of lonely hours translating to marginal improvement. It can be a feeling, a timing, a statistic on precision. It can be a short game that's tighter or a tenacity that's been tested.
Or just a great player telling you that, who knows, one day you could be somebody.
