Words of wisdom from Kart Bosse
A bit of Kart Bosse's latest (which he translated):
We have to change the subjects of the post-race follow-up discussions. Instead of telling each and everybody about our mistakes in the forests, we should emphazise the flow in our orienteering between this and that control, and talk about the perfect route choices we managed to find.
Yes, we have to improve the quality of the follow-up discussions so that the lottery orienteerers will be able to see that they have to change tactics to complete their courses.
He is getting at one of my favorite ideas - focus time and effort on understanding what went right rather than what went wrong.
