    Truth is, you are better learning these skills from people who F'd up. They know. But at the same time, the mentality can sometimes be, if they did, I can too. So it's a catch 22. But I do like the idea if those players have come full circle. And most do mature at some point. Or regret the decisions they made. Off the court skills are critical. Probably the most under trained position is parenting. And although each situation is different, there are a lot of skills to learn and that could ease things, all the way to down to asking your kid what they think, which is so simple, as it allows them to make decisions for themselves, and buy into what you would wish them to do, but so often forgot at those critical decision points.
