The success of failure
This episode will work through the idea of learning from our failures. Kobe Bryant once said “I’ve practiced and practiced and played so many times. There’s nothing truly to be afraid of, when you think about it…I’ve failed before and I woke up the next morning, and I’m OK”. Nobody goes into something wanting to fail, but the fact about sports is that we often have a team/individual who wins and the other who doesn’t. We will take out time discussing the idea that growth can come from failure and that growth can be positive for the development process.
“If you’ve never failed, you’ve never tried anything new.”
