Tonight I had a lot of fun assisting in a softball session. I’m not a softball coach, but I am interested in working with people to figure out what they want to do, particularly in sports.
One of the girls was as unconvinced about her batting prowess as I was convinced I had no clue about the right way to swing a softball bat.
“What do you want me to do?” I said while trying to demonstrate a shot. Of course, we know it’s easier to tell someone else what to do than it is to do it ourselves! Just ask a busy, disorganised dad what his kid needs to do.
Resist the urge and make a fool of yourself instead.
“Show me again!”
