The Ted Lasso Effect

I didn’t think I would love it so much but I did. I keep seeing this name pop up on Twitter and on groups but I didn’t always have an affinity for Jason Sudeikis post Hangover. Actually I might’ve actually liked him in Game Night. But this show about a very optimistic though technically not qualified to be a coach.

Several shows in, I’ve been bawling my eyes out and I don’t even catch everything.

You see, I feel like him and his players a lot. The reorganization has shed so much doubt in me than anything in the world. It scares me and in the past, cast a doubt for my abilities. The short answer is: there’s more to life than winning and Ted Lasso was a show to highlight that too. It highlights the importance of being a good teammate, how sometimes you need to be benched even if you’re good, or that you have to take second half for the good of everyone. I hadn’t been a teammate — I’d been an individual player and I never knew how. But thanks to that show, I think I may finally know.
