Episode notes

The power of regret is that it clarifies what we value and instructs us on what to do subsequently. "I just wish if, i think, if i were to dedicate an extra 15, 20 hours a week in high school," one person says. The thing is not at what sport did you play or what sports? N baseball, ok. And so how far did you go? Ih, i was going to play d too in college, and then i opted to just play club and a d one, ok? That's a perfectly sensible decision. But i don't know if i can regret the fact that i didn't put in too much work"
