Training material
Trying to convey the “playfulness” of play – how young children are typically not afraid to fail, they are not self-conscious, they don’t get embarrassed about their level of talent. It is intended to be an opposite analogy to how most business people are self-conscious and want to avoid the personal risk of failure.

brincando como se fossem mais velhos
É uma metáfora de Vygotsky. Na brincadeira, as crianças se comportam como se fossem "uma cabeça mais alta" do que realmente são, ou seja, como se fossem mais velhas, mais maduras
http://loisholzman.org/2011/10/vygotskys-head-taller-metapho...
...understanding what Lev Vygotsky said: “In play a child always behaves beyond his average age, above his daily behavior; in play it is as though he were a head taller than himself” —and its practical applications and implications for people of all ages.
Traduziria com uma nota explicativa ao lado:
...playing a head taller
...brincando como se fossem mais velhos (uma referência à metáfora de Vygotsky, "playing a head taller" - em tradução literal, brincando como se tivessem "uma cabeça a mais" de altura)

Jogar na(o) liga/categoria/campeonato acima
Penso que significa "jogar/agir/actuar (sem medo) um nível (pode ser hierárquico/técnico/profissional) acima do que está atribuído.
Liga, categoria, campeonato, são tudo termos utilizados para definir escalas / escalões de dificuldade, etc.
