That analogy made me laugh! It also reminded me that there's a similar gulf in most sports. Years ago, as a keen amateur cyclist, I could turn out 200 watts for a (not very long) while. Top pros were from a different planet, churning out 600 watts for hour after hour. (Maybe not quite so much without pharmaceutical enhancements, but still with a totally different class of engine.)

I get that us mere mortals only have our own experiences to go off, but the difference between professional sport and amateur sport is really not worth the comparison.

This greatly depends on what level of amateur / pro sport we're talking about.
