I started Ted Lasso a little over 2 weeks ago and I just started season 3 today. I’m just wondering why Nate has become such a villain. He had one good call made for the game against Spurs then accidentally word vomited out wonderkid in the post match interview. He claims that Ted will take all the glory, which I haven’t seen him do. Did I miss something? Does it have to do more with his Dad being so indifferent to him having some success? Or is he truly that in love with the attention he was getting for that brief period which he now craves? Any help will be appreciated!
the healthy path is the “middle road”. know yourself and praise yourself, but don’t be dishonest to yourself. Like Ted Lasso:
he knows he’s good at coaching. He knows he’s good at playing darts. Also at telling jokes. He also
knows
that he’s bad at reading books,
he’s bad at understanding football or, say,
he’s bad at doing mushrooms with Beard.
And he doesn’t lie to himself. He accepts that he’s good at some things and he gives himself praise. He enjoys
being who he is.
But he doesn’t give himself false praise. He knows he’s bad at some stuff and he fully accepts that no problem.
