Ted Lasso: Life Lessons

I LOVE watching Ted Lasso - it is one of the BEST programmes on TV in years - well in my opinion anyway! It is a feel good, heart-warming, laugh out loud comedy, filled with inspirational quotes and life lessons (some awful Dad jokes too!)

There are several reasons that I love “Ted Lasso”, ALL of the characters show a lot of depth to them demonstrated in the multiple realtionships that play out on screen that are a delight to watch, with wonderful storylines full of emotion and art echoing reality of life in Britain (certainly in the most recent episode, which took swipe at the immigration policy on small boats to perfection). It is also filmed locally for the football club/training ground scenes - just down the road from me at Crystal Palace’s training ground and stadium - making it feel even closer to home and my heart.

But the number one reason is that you cannot escape Ted’s optimism and his ever quotable one-liners! I’ve tried to narrow to 10 that I think we could all do with taking onboard for ourselves:

10 of the Best Life Lessons from Ted:

Believe in yourself.
Vulnerability is a strength not a weakness.
Optimists do more.
Winning is an attitude.
Doing the right thing, is never the wrong thing.
See good in others.
Courage is about being willing to try.
Stay teachable.
Be a goldfish - if you do something wrong do not let it define you, forget it like a goldfish.
Happiness is a choice.
