And that's a great attitude. Just keep looking to learn, and do what it takes to learn it.
One problem people have who are new to any sport is that when they try to pick up what they can from more experienced participants, they don't have enough expertise to know if they have picked a good role model or a bad role model. Most of the bad habits I picked up in skiing came from imitating the wrong skiers.
One afternoon in Belize I went to the beach-side bar to get an order of drinks for our table. It took the bartender quite a while to get the order together, and while I was waiting, a diver was waxing eloquent on the physics of diving to the rest of the people at the bar, none of whom were apparently divers. He left just before my drinks were finished. One of the people at the bar addressed me, telling me that he could tell from the pained expression on my face that I thought most of what the guy was saying was pure BS, and he wondered if I could straighten things out. He himself was a physician and knew enough about science to know the guy was wrong, and he was hoping to get a correct answer. He was right about the other guy--it's hard to believe he ever got certified and still be so very wrong about it all.
That's why it is important to be very careful about where you get your learning as you grow in any activity.
