If you plotted the performance of most major team sport athletes on a Cartesian axis, it would resemble a parabola.The start ambles upward gently as the player’s body matures and becomes accustomed to the rigor of the game’s highest level. Then it takes a sharp, upward spike through a player’s mid-20s until a peak is reached in the late 20s. It is followed by a gradual, then more rapid, descent as the ravages of age and younger competition take their toll.
