WWTD?
I HAD A DISTURBING CONVERSATION at the race this week. It wasn't a troll, I get those. It wasn't gossip, I hate those. It was worse...
... it was resignation.
We've all been there, had our lycra handed to us one too many times and wanted to quit.
Said we'd quit.
Yet, here we are...
... still getting after it.
I did BWR and had a terrible race.
How bad?
Worst finish ever.
Hmmm...
And this is after hiring a coach and going all in.
Ok...
So, I fired the coach and I'm not going to do my other A race this year.
Yikes!
Can I buy you lunch and pick your brain?
Sure, if you drive to San Clemente and we go to Kawamata's.
So, what am I gonna tell him?
Because when I think about it, I already post all I'm doing here...
... and I've consolidated it all in the RaceDay Ready Challenge...
... and I have an accountability call that is a helluvalot more than a check in.
Should he have fired the coach?
Maybe, maybe not.
Hard to know.
I think the right coach can be transformative. At the same time, I think a lot of coaches are plugging numbers into an algorithm and regurgitating the output, and not much more. It's not necessarily their fault, it's what they are taught to do so they can make a living...
... a great coach makes a difference.
PS I'm not a coach.
