The coach who drove you home when your ride flaked was teaching you something no drill could.

Some lessons only arrive outside the activity. Staying late to drive a kid home is not coaching, it is a demonstration of what adults can be like, and it gets remembered long after the drills are forgotten, because what it taught was that you were worth the inconvenience. Nobody puts that in a session plan. It is the part that forms people.

Thank whoever did that for you, even years later and in one sentence. Then watch for your own chance to be mildly inconvenienced for somebody: the lift, the wait, the extra twenty minutes. That is how the lesson keeps moving.
