Your ability to draw analogies from so many things that you have done and that you do experience in your life is a good one. Something your article got very close to as it relates to learning or growing in the game of life, is accepting that we all get coached. We cannot always decide who our coaches might be or what they’ll coach us on, and that it is alright to look for a coach for things we just can’t know or understand instead of faking it just to fool ourselves that we are in control. An 8 year old can teach us the right way to catch and really look at a bug, a 10 year old can teach us what commitment and hard work really is through a sport, a 13 year old can help us to understand what good friendships really mean or a 15 year old can teach us what being really proud of yourself means and how good that can feel. There are tons of players in the game of life and there is not one single player that cannot coach on something that they just know, do or understand better than somebody else, but if we don’t open up to being coached, then that gift that could have been shared is wasted.

Now about practicing your skills on your own before moving into it with a partner – that is a whole other life lesson.

Excellent analogy. Squash can teach us many things in addition to being a great workout. Such a good workout in fact that I’m pretty sure that sometimes I wasn’t breathing anymore! But I somehow manges to stay in the game!
