Motivation: How I learned to love discipline in training

The author reflects on their experience learning to play the trombone, starting at the age of 14. Despite wanting to be a musician, they hated practicing and didn't do it, instead playing in various bands such as the Freiwilligen Feuerwehr Vinnhorst brass orchestra and a big band. Their trombone teacher eventually suggested they consider a different career path, which they now pursue.

The author notes that learning an instrument requires discipline and practice, which they struggled with. They draw a parallel with sports training, which they also avoid.
