Took my daughter surfing earlier in the week and she did amazingly well for her first time ever being on a board. Yesterday's surf was unusually high and she talked me into going back again. Although I thought the waves were way too much for her to handle (as a rookie surfer) she was semi-successful because she understands the concept of "improvement only comes through mistakes."If all she ever rides are the small safe "easy to ride" waves, then she probably won't improve her surfing skills. She understands that it is only through challenging herself to push beyond her comfort zone and into making mistakes that she can learn how to improve. Basketball is no different. As a player, you have to push yourself until you make mistakes... that is how you come to understand what caused the mistakes and how to adjust to improve and avoid the same mistakes in the future.
