Hey,

Last week, I sat on a panel at an analytics event talking about breaking into football.

One idea stayed with me: resistance to frustration is the key to improvement.

Not motivation. Not talent. Resistance.

When I started learning to code, AI tools didn't exist. I was grinding through tutorials like everyone else, copying syntax I didn't understand, debugging errors that made no sense.

It took me two weeks to create my first data visualisation - a waffle chart.
