Do you remember Miss Trunchbull?
She was the steely grade school principal in the classic children’s film Matilda. Miss Trunchbull had competed in the Olympics as a thrower and could outlift most women and men. She famously stated: “If you are having fun, you are not learning.”
Well said, Ma’am.
Recently a gentleman posted a question on our forum: “How to make swings less boring?” He was having a hard time getting his daughter to do swings and more swings.
Another community member, a teacher who must have interned with Miss Trunchbull, had the answer: “Create an environment where she learns how to sustain boredom.”
StrongFirst is proud to take the ‘fun’ out of the ‘fundamentals’ with our new StrongFirst Fundamentals 3-Pack: kettlebell + barbell + bodyweight video courses. |
