The surprise and awe showered upon everyone by Jordan Poole’s exponential improvement was like finally chancing upon the center of a Tootsie Pop — including the painstakingly long process of having to get to it. But for Poole, the process was anything but a breeze.
Even with his work ethic — by all accounts, he’s known to be a hard worker — Poole himself seemed rather surprised at just how much he was able to do on the offensive end. Like a superhero newly bitten by a radioactive arachnid, or one who gains improved physical properties and superhuman traits after being exposed to an experimental serum, there was a sense of wonder and gleeful experimentation with his movements, pushing the limits of his newfound abilities to the edge.
