Love the forced amnesia! Reminds me of when Gordon Ramsay yells at his chefs in hells kitchen to dust yourself down and just try again. Forgetting about the mistake is the way to go in the moment. Analyze it later.
I enjoyed the lesson list. I especially liked this comment: "...give me someone who can really attend to the details, who understands the bigger picture, and who does the million little things that make everyone better. These are the people who truly help you conquer the world."
I grew up as a non-athlete, and have taken up Pickleball now that I'm retired. I love reading your advice, especially "Don't let one point beat you twice." Things do get in your head, and I love the idea of having amnesia and starting over. Really enjoyed this, Chief Rabbit (that's you, right?)
I've got several kids playing Ultimate Frisbee in competitive leagues. It's become a huge part of our family. These lessons are great. Thanks for sharing your insights.
Hey Derek! I LOVE Ultimate Frisbee. I remember playing it in middle school during lunch. Do you watch Ted Lasso at all? Some of the sayings you have here remind me of what he might say!
This is my favorite quote "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity". It's so true.
Just because you won the lottery it doesn't mean you are only lucky, I couldn't have won it, because I didn't even buy a ticket.
When you look for opportunities, then, you are magically more lucky.

Yeah exactly, I love that follow up - analyze it later. That's so key.

Thanks! It's so true time and time again.

The sport has served our family well over the years. Happy to hear it’s been good to you.

I like to think they modeled Ted after me.
