James walks into the football locker room. Today is the day of the game against a rival soccer team from his hometown.
The coach calls out to James and taps him on the shoulder, saying, "Come on, let's make this a win."
The other team taunts and boos him, trying to kill his spirit on the field. But James is not a weakling. He has a strong side to him, especially against his rival team. He's been flying around in games against rival teams. He has a position he calls the James Zone.
If he took a shot from that position, it was a goal.

I knew that contempt was a feeling that some people have for something that is beyond their capabilities.

I knew that the opposing team's supporters would boo me out of envy for my superior play against the rival team.

James went beyond contempt and scored a great goal today.

He beat two defenders and scored a beautiful goal with his right foot in the James zone.
