The disadvantages of learning



As coaches we are teachers as  teachers we understand all the benefit's of learning. But what about the disadvantages? The first disadvantage of learning is learning takes time, you don't want to explore all the new possible ways of fire prevention if your house is burning down, or learn all the accumulated cultural wisdom about tigers when one is chasing you. Sometimes it's best we just go on relying on the old routines.  

An important step some athletic coaches miss.  

Professional Coaches that depend on the accumulated knowledge of past generations has to have some time to acquire that knowledge. And the coaches that depend on that imagination has to have some time to exercise it and keep asking the question why?
