The Outlet

I have been out of coaching for about 8 months now, but I can't get it out of my system.  A friend of mine's wrote a book that he is working on getting published, and in it, he talks about how too often we are defined by profession (a noun) instead of who we are and what we do (a verb).  He calls us to not allow our titles (nouns) limit us and our potential and to be who we are.

This is me being me.  I love to write, I love to formulate opinions on different things, especially coaching.  I love to look at situations, analyze them, and see how I would handle in those situations.

I am very fortunate that I have a small circle of friends in the basketball community who still talk hoops and coaching with me.  It keeps me close to the game, and keeps me sharp.  It helps me work on my leadership skills, because so much of coaching is about leadership, and it helps me stay sharp with by basketball knowledge.

Instead of internalizing these conversations, and instead of internalizing my thoughts, I am going to start to use this as an outlet for myself.

This is my Coaching Diary.
