Do you know what a relay exchange zone is? It's the zone where relay runners have to pass the baton to the next runner and give them a chance to build speed. Miss that handoff zone, and you could disqualify the whole team.

Holding on to outdated ideas can have the same impact. We owe it to the next generation to run our leg, let them gain speed, and pass it off for them to carry the team.
