Also getting rid of PE classes. Probably one of the dumbest things I did in retrospect back in 90s high school was drop my PE class for another academic course. I fell hard for the "I'm a smart nerd, I don't need to be physically strong" psyop back then. Given my progress right now in my 40s as well as seeing what my dad is achieving in the gym in his 70s is making me wonder if I had the genetics to be a pro all along had I actually been encouraged to put in the effort.
