Everything I do right is due to the amazing coaching that I am blessed to have. Every mistake I make is my own.
It was brought to my attention recently that my coaches are human too.
What? Huh? Human?

I was being reminded that we are a Team. It's not me against the world. It's Us against Them, whoever "Them" are. My victories are Our victories and so it goes that my defeats are Our defeats. They invest an extraordinary amount of time and energy and emotion into my education and with their good hearts they hope and want for me to do well in my endeavors. Who am I to not appreciate their passion for my success in fight?!

That being the way things are means that when I fall I need to allow them to feel and react to the disappointment in the same way that I want the freedom to be able to feel and react. It seems a simple enough concept.
But theFighter forgets. So theFighter wants to say that I will change my ways.
I am fortunate to have coaches that communicate with me. They are actually more mature about it all than I am. I tend to withdraw and sulk. This is part of my arrested development. They approach me and talk to me about things. Grown men behaving so admirably! How lucky I am to be in the presence of such fine people to inspire me as a fighter and a human being!
