Experience - Do you believe in it?

When you're young, you don't care about "experience". You don't think you need it to perform and do well.

You think it's just a bunch of BS older folks are talking about to make them feel important because they are older and
have lived a little.

I certainly didn't believe much in it.

Well.. I have been coaching 20 years now and every year I realized I couldn't be more wrong.

Read this carefully:

You don't know what experience is until you have it.

You cannot buy or train experience; you have to live it.

Experience is important to be the best you can be.

What is experience?

According to Wikipedia, experience as a general concept  comprises knowledge of or skill in or observation of some
thing or some event gained through involvement in or exposure  to that thing or event.

Bottom line, you have to gain experience through participation at various things.

Learn to appreciate everything you go through (good and bad), learn from it and realize that you're now a more experienced person and will do better in a similar situation next time.

Who loves you?
