CHOSEN FOR CHANGE. ❤️🔥
There’s an athlete in almost every program who seems to be the one coaches call on when something needs to change.
Not because they’re struggling. Not because they aren’t doing their job. Sometimes, it’s quite the opposite.
They’re the athlete we KNOW can adapt. The one who can walk into an unfamiliar situation, make adjustments, and help everyone around them become better.
But here’s what we as coaches must remember…
Being the athlete we can count on doesn’t mean being the athlete who never gets disappointed.
Sometimes that athlete has worked hard to build something successful. They’ve developed chemistry, confidence, and comfort. And when we ask them to move, they don’t always see the bigger picture. They only see what they’re losing.
That’s where we have a responsibility to help them understand what we see in THEM.
We see their versatility. Their strength. Their leadership. Their ability to make an impact beyond their own individual success.
To every athlete who has ever been CHOSEN FOR CHANGE, I want you to know something:
You weren’t moved because you weren’t enough. You were chosen because we believed you had MORE to give.
While change isn’t always comfortable, sometimes it’s where we discover just how extraordinary we really are.
This is BIGGER THAN CHEER.
