Question of the Week

Do you apply lessons you learned playing sports to your work in law?

This month in the ABA Journal, legal writing expert Bryan Garner talks about the golf instruction he received as a youth by Harvey Penick--author of Harvey Penick's Little Red Book: Lessons And Teachings From A Lifetime In Golf.

Penick "was the gentlest imaginable coach, always saying, 'Why don't you try this?' or 'Why don't you try that?'" Garner writes.

So this week, we'd like to ask you: Do you apply lessons you learned playing sports to your work in law? Do you, like Garner, take cues from the skillful approach of a onetime coach? Answer in the comments.
