Hans‘ best lesson ever

A coach is having his twentieth lesson with a club player called Hans. Hans misses a shot and the coach starts to tell him something but pauses – Hans interrupts him and says “yes, I hit the ball late, I wasn’t focussed on the ball, etc.” So the next time Hans misses, the coach starts to say something and Hans again interrupts him. “Yes I know what you are going to say. I didn’t get my feet to the ball, etc.” The same thing happens all through the lesson – the coach is beginning to say something, but as soon as he pauses, Hans jumps in with his own analysis. In the whole lesson the coach doesn’t manage to venture a single  opinion. At the end of the lesson, Hans is beaming with pleasure. “Thank you so much,” he tells the coach. “That was the best  lesson ever. I agreed with everything you said. I really thought you understood me today!” (a true story by Bruce Tarran, Leicestershire)
