THE SELF-COACHED ATHLETE IS...
COACHING IS ALL THE RAGE. We can get coached for just about anything. I blame it all on Pop Warner because that is the first place I ever heard of coaching, and the...
... need a coach mentality.
I quickly learned playing 1-hand touch football in the street didn't mean doodoo.
Just because we knew how to...
- run
- throw
- catch
... didn't mean we knew how to play football correctly.
We had real cuts, scabs, and bruises.
Didn't matter.
Fast, tall, big, good hands, great thrower.
Didn't matter.
We could be a lot better with a coach.
I say Could not Should due to two critical factors on our part...
... would we listen and were we coachable.
We were already...
- having fun
- making friends
- getting tough and fit
... we didn't Need a coach.
Unless,
unless...
... we wanted to get a lot better, in way less time.
Don't get me wrong,
there is great joy in just doing the thing we love to do, our own way at our own pace.
At some point, though, ever self-coached athlete has to ask...
... how could I get a lot better, in way less time?
I'll answer that another day.
