Match Point Podcast
As we usher in the New Year 2025, let's reflect with Coach Job on an evocative metaphor: "Birds born in a cage think flying is an illness." This metaphor suggests that we often limit ourselves by our perceptions and beliefs, much like birds born in a cage might perceive the ability to fly as a sickness. This idea compels us to examine the constraints we often impose on ourselves and the dynamic life system around us—one that thrives on growth, evolution, and transformation.

This phrase encapsulates the essence of our journey as athletes and as a team. We envision brightness, hope, and guidance when we think about light.
