As I am watching the stories of campus chaos that seem too numerous to count, I am struck by the childishness and juvenile arrogance of the protestors. None of them seems to be coachable. What in the world is going on?

Pro-Palestinian students hold white t-shirts stating the message, “DIVEST,” as they protest during the UC Berkeley graduation at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, Calif., on Saturday, May 11, 2024. Dear Dr. E: As I am watching the stories of campus chaos that seem too numerous to count, I am struck by the childishness and juvenile arrogance of the protestors.

Being coachable is synonymous with admitting you don’t know everything. It means recognizing that someone else, with a little more experience than you, might see something you don’t. Being coachable means being willing to go to the sidelines, accept criticism, listen to the advice of someone wiser, do what you’re told, and change direction.Being coachable means you’re mature enough to admit it’s not about you. It means acknowledging your ego simply doesn’t matter.

An adult admits he’s fallen, gets up, listens to the coach, and runs the next play. He learns and grows from each failure. He doesn’t start whining about “safe spaces” and “microaggressions” and blame everyone around him for his bumps and bruises. He doesn’t stay in the huddle and expect everyone to give him a big group hug. He accepts his responsibility to admit when he’s wrong, get back in the game, and run a different play.

What does it matter that Jerry Seinfeld might have some good advice to offer? He thinks it was wrong for Hamas to behead Jewish children, so he needs to be silenced. He needs to be expelled. No one should listen to him.
