Where do you go when you want to learn something? School? A friend? A tutor? These are all 1 places of learning. But it may well be that the learning you really want 2 somewhere else instead. I had the 3 of seeing this first hand on a 4 .
My daughter plays on a recreational soccer team. They did 5 this season and so entered a tournament, which normally was only for more skilled club teams. This led to some 6 experiences on Saturday as they played against teams better trained. Through the first two games, her 7 did not get one serious shot on goal.
However, it seemed that something clicked with(使合拍) the 8 between Saturday and Sunday. When they 9 for their Sunday game, they were 10 different. They had begun to integrate (融合) the kinds of play and teamwork they had seen the day before into their 11 . They played aggressively and even scored a goal.
It 12 me that playing against the other team was a great 13 moment for all the girls on the team. I think it is a general principle. 14 is the best teacher. The lessons they learned may not be 15 what they would have gotten in school, but are certainly more personal and meaningful, because they had to work them out on their own.
