Dear Coaching

I love you.

.

Why do I coach? The long winded answer entails a lot of who I am as a person and what I am interested in. There’s lots of stories.

In the end, the answer is simple. I love it.

That’s why I am still here.

If you don’t love coaching then leave the room please. You have no place supporting athletes that give everything to achieve their goals.

When you are a coach you tend to be all in. You dont wake up and go to work. You wake up and are “on”. Right from the start until the end of the day when the eyes get closed.

It takes a lot of self-control and great management to make sure it doesnt take you over lest you burn out.

.

So what do I love about coaching?

I love sport. Always have. Always will. To be an integral part of something and being a coach is an honour and I take a huge amount of pride in it.

I love simplifying a problem and delivering solutions to athletes, helping them understand the why’s of what they are doing.

I love working with athletes. Athletes are always highly motivated and positive individuals. Working with people like that is inspiring and enjoyable to be around.

I’m competitive … and coaching is conducted in a competitive environment.

Thanks for reading
