A different presentation and perception

I was on course over the weekend.

An interesting sharing by one of the participants called Joe. He shared that during his pastimes, he likes to hand out with his friends and enjoy a game of tennis at his friend condo.

He further shared that although he is a very good tennis player. He likes to try his hand one day into coaching. Some of the participants give a puzzling look. (Not a good tennis player, yet wanna to coach ?) When prompted further, he explained that he thought he has good fundamentals that he is able to impart to yound kids. Some nodded but some did not understand or make up what he is trying to say.

I understand instantly what he is trying to convey without passing any judgement. It is just a different way of presentation resulting in a different perception. Imagine that Roger Federer's coach cannot be as good as him else Federer's Coach will be playing in the Tournament instead of Federer.

In retrospect, perhaps Joe is just modest by stating that he is not a good tennis player.
