Learning

My husband has an observation from his years playing sports.
If you go into your game thinking you're better than you really are, you end up playing worse than you really can.
I remember getting my come-uppance at a dance camp for amateurs back in the 90s. I'd been teaching for a few years then and thought I must be getting on to Advanced, not realizing how hard the high level amateurs work.
Back to beginners!
Self awareness and humility can help you improve, and
pride goes before a fall.
