Coaching is an interesting life, its a lot like being a parent. There are so many ups and downs. You spend a ton of time and energy investing in everyone around you, even when you are exhausted yourself. Putting in the effort and the hours, hoping that what your doing is making a difference.
Making the journey better and growing the next generation is all that matters. At the end of the day I hope that all of the hours training, conversations, lectures, game planning etc. helps everyone grow.
For all of the athletes and students out there, listen to your coaches and be coachable. I promise they have almost certainly put in more thought and hours into it than you have, and their investment in your growth is probably bigger than you know. It really is just like being a parent.
While you go off into your regular day to day a good coach is spending their free time still thinking about your development, taking notes, trying to improve the systems around you. Trying to make this thing we do the best we can for everyone. Be invested in your training because we certainly are invested in you more than you may know.
