Learning from zero
I tried a new sport and discovered that I was not a natural. It taxed muscles I don’t often train and required techniques of which I had no knowledge.
Pure strength and intuition did not carry me far.
I looked around: others made things look easy with graceful efficiency.
But I should not have been surprised. I was comparing my zero-hours experience with well-practiced, skilled participants. Not a fair comparison.
Sometimes, even the first few steps can call for domain knowledge and guidance.
And learning new things requires patience and humility.
Be sure to do it regularly.
