the Practical Skateboarder

In recent years, I’ve noticed many of the principles I’m learning for success in one domain or another also come up in skateboarding. Perhaps this is because skateboarding is a central part of my life and I’m inclined to connect everything back to it. Or, perhaps, it is because skateboarding is unique as a sport in its ability to teach us many things about life, if we’re paying attention. This blog will be a collection of my reflections on what I have learned through skateboarding but only recognized through others and my own experiences elsewhere in life. Hopefully the lessons and insights I share here will resonate with at least a few other skateboarders who share a passion for becoming better at whatever they seek to do and shed some light for others on the principles they could learn through the art of skateboarding.
