Great insights David and for our family it was soccer. My wife and I coached one of our daughters U14 team to States only losing regular season game 1-0 in a soaking away game. It as a good lesson when losing sometimes propels future wins. I like your analogy on that basketball game as being easier to look back than actually seeing the vision in the present moments. I only watched one partial episode of Ted Lasso (the dart game one) and I should watch at least the first season one of my daughters told me. What I liked was that he was unconventional and surprising at the same time. May reflect that doing things as conventional will provide conventional or less than results. We are into exceptional right....Carpe forte incredibili esse. Seize the chance to be extraordinary.

If you are/were a soccer parent you HAVE to watch Ted Lasso. I love the leadership and life lessons it conveys.

Not just a soccer parent but blessed to be a past coach. Yes seems to be a lot of lessons yet I watched the first episode and honestly the extreme vulgar language was a turn off. I get the complexity of personalities of the alpha males and growing up in a city this isn’t new to me. I have lived away from the city since a teenager and grateful for that. I’ll decide at some point as there’s plenty of lessons to be learned with Ted Lasso or not!
