If you cool a metal too quickly when it is being fortified, it becomes rigid on the outside and brittle on the inside. These metals break and therefore, don't serve their intended purpose.
However, if you heat it to the correct temperature and cool it slowly it becomes strong on the outside but also flexible on the inside. These metals can bend instead of breaking and therefore, can serve their purpose for a lot longer.
The same is true in the development of young boys. If you expose a boy to a man's load too quickly, he becomes rigid on the outside but remains a frightened boy on the inside (brittle).
However, if you expose him to the right dose at the right time, incrementally, he becomes resilient (strong) on the outside but retains the ability to be flexible and adaptable to life's challenges on the inside.
The same is true for coaching athletes and the same is true for coaching you.
Were you cooled at the right speed? Can you bend or do you break? If the answer is break, I have good news. Old metals can be reheated and cooled appropriately.
P.s. I hope you enjoyed last week off. It wasn't planned. I went on holidays and forgot to schedule it !
