This is definitely something that comes with maturity and some students certainly have it. After having worked with Will and team 1218's drive team, I would say that they have it.
With the basketball theme in Rebound Rumble this year and the quoted text above, UCLA basketball great Coach John Wooden comes to mind and this quote by him comes to mind. "A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment."
