Learn across domains. Develop persuasive arguments.
"Findings of fact are necessary to a resolution of disputes between parties. The function of the trial is to resolve factual disputes. One cannot overstate the importance of the facts. Advocacy skills alone, without thorough preparation and mastery of the facts, will not win a case. There is no substitute of thorough and rigorous preparation. While, of course, there must be preparation of the law, the more important preparation is the preparation of the evidence, the gathering of the facts and the marshaling of the evidence in a persuasive manner to establish the facts."
People are subject to cognitive bias and prone to errors. For example, social media and 'popularity' influence our beliefs, even when confronted by facts. The quality of an argument should stand on its own rather than on personality.
Move ahead or fall behind. When our team struggles, we need a 'theory of the case' to find solutions. Basketball has its own set of 'laws'. Taking credit for success and blaming players for failure misrepresents our world. It's self-serving to blame the talent constantly. And know exactly how many people feel sympathy for our team problems.
Few coaches have the confidence and the character to ask others for help.
Be consistent in our self-assessment. If it doesn't impact winning, then "bin it."

Polgar believed in the power of self-education.
Once a child unlocks mastery in 1 field, doing it in other fields becomes easier. A skill that will serve them throughout their lives.
So pushing them early in life would eventually help them.
