But as for a loss of step, its a sports analogy. Oh player XXXX can still get the job done, but has lost a step. Meaning they arent as quick as they used to be.
Ohhhhh...thanks. I see what you mean. I would argue that a high school or collegiate football player has much more step than a pee-wee league player. The only difference would be if that pee-wee player had started HS- or collegiate-level football training as a toddler, he might show some step.
