Whenever I explain about co-operative skills to people often I used the example of a car. You go to the showroom, you are shown all these amazing vehicles, you choose the one you like the look of and, importantly, one that will meet your needs - whether that be off-road, commercial vehicle or zippy runner for about town. It's only when you drive it away from the forecourt that you realize you've never driven a car before and never had any proper lessons.
