When coaches say "think about how you can impliment judo into your every day life"

Ya dawg like I'm going to be thinking about slamming bodies while in the walmart beer section looking for a 6er of some pabst blue ribbon.

You can practice mutual welfare and benefit by allowing the old man in front of you to select his beer first.

You can implement maximum efficiency by being vigilant at self-checkout and getting done quickly.

Obviously these are kind of corny examples, but the whole "-do" of "Judo" is finding everyday ways to implement mutual benefit and maximum efficiency and, by extension, promote a healthy society.
