Listening to Our Coaches

In wise class today, it was brought to our attention that advice from our mentors and teachers is vital. Comparable to an elite Olympic athlete listening to their coach, despite their extensive skill and knowledge that they have themselves. This can be attributed to the fact that from the outside looking in, things are different and taking a step back and considering the advice of others is important in ensuring your own success. As an athlete, I am used to listening to my coaches and have routinely listened to my mentor when he suggests things and he has helped me overcome many obstacles in this way.
