Something tangentially related that I've learned recently from the individual sport of tennis:
You need to learn the skills, but that's not enough. You also need to know how to play the game.
And "how to play the game" requires a certain maturity of understanding what sports and competition are: physically outsmarting (an)other human(s).
Skills can be taught by a coach, but playing the game requires... playing the game; working it out by doing, and each opponent requires a slightly different approach.
Team sports (or working with other people) adds a layer of complexity to what is already complex. Games within games.
The joys and frustration of life itself.
