Coach Carter

I spent the first week of my New Year juggling time between writing training programmes for 10 riders and finishing off my Personal Performance Coaching diploma: a 3000 word written assessment reminded me of my University days! In my study this week, I came across a quote that I wanted to share with you. It might have been written with more of a life coaching role in mind, but there is a lot of carry over into my cycle coaching and helping athletes reach peak sports performance:

A great coach is someone that lives your commitment

Someone who remembers when you forget

A great coach is someone who helps you reach for the sky

Someone who never lets you give up on your dream

A great coach is someone who helps you think, discover, and create

Someone who has you stand by the possibility you are

A great coach is someone who has you see what you cannot see

Someone who will have you be great

A great coach is someone you can count on, no matter what
