"Before Coach Curtis would let five players work together as a team, we had to perfect every basic skill he could think of - passing, defending, rebounding, making all the different types of shots, and more." - John Wooden
I've seen this approach not only in basketball, but even in reading about highly successful swimming coaches. And for that matter, by choir conductors. Mastering the basics individually helps dramatically in blending them together when it counts.
What are the basics in daily life? Perhaps how we handle criticism, defeat, loss of control, success, compliments, the unexpected. Then when we face these at full speed in our relationships, we handle them gracefully and well.
