"Life's this game of inches," Tony D'Amato says in the 1999 film Any Given Sunday, "and so is football."
"In either game – life or football – the margin for error is so small: I mean, one half-a-step too late or too early, and you don't quite make it. One half-second too slow, too fast, you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us."
There is one particular game of inches, years ago, that Graham Arnold has been thinking about recently.
