I broke my ankle about 3 months ago (day after Christmas 2016). It's doing better, but I still have a long way to go until it is back to normal. I have to do exercises to be strong again and to even myself out after hopping on one leg for two months. This experience has given me a reminder about how hard it is to do something unfamiliar, especially when you are out of shape. I feel my students' pain when they are struggling with a new position or exercise. It's also made sure that I practice what I preach when I remind students to do their at-home exercises. Empathy is vital for good teaching!
