?
meaning
to not have something

Explanation:

The word "lack" means "to not have something." In the text, the phrase "wasn't super strong or fast" shows that Ashrita didn't possess certain physical qualities (strength and speed), which relates to the concept of not having (lacking) something. The contrast with "had plenty of ideas" further emphasizes that while he had one thing (ideas), he didn't have another (sports skills), reinforcing the meaning of "lack" as a deficiency or absence.

Answer:

"wasn't super strong or fast" and "had plenty (of ideas)"
