“Lovely weather we are having”.  We love to point out to other people what we are all experiencing.  It isn’t just the weather that we state the obvious about.  Anything is up for grabs in our bid to communicate.

Why do we state the obvious?  Are we even aware that we are doing this?  In this episode I explore what might be happening for us when we communicate this way, using the metaphor of tennis commentary.  There’s a few of the greats that we meet along the way.

Here are the highlights of this episode:

(0.30) The arrival of the tennis season

(1.53) Martina Navratilova

(3.38) Stating the obvious

(4.25) Anxiety

(6.20) Learning and constructive criticism
