Here are some things to think about when looking for a good coach. This is a quick story of how my own personal experience with a coach built me to be better.

I had a coach that gave me a feeling of being important, winning, having fun, laughing, good memories and athletic dominance. Because of what he would say and how he would say it, this coach made me better. When he would say something to me it would go straight to my soul. I would of ran through a brick wall for him. I remember a time where we needed to take second place to go to finals for track. I remember my whole team of three including myself wondering if we could do it. It was either do or die for us. For some it might be our last race together.

Anyway I told myself that I will do anything possible to get my boys where we needed to be. The first guy took off and all lanes were even all the way around. The second took off and I realized that we might have a shot at this. By the time the third guy took off we were in third and I knew I was going to have to run one of the best races of my life to win. I received that baton and took off with determination written all over me. I could not here anything except my breath and my track spikes being picked up and put down very fast. By the time the home stretch came around I was still in third, but somehow some way I was able to pass the guy in second and beat the guy at the finish line to take first. My coach was so happy he kissed me. I was so tired I didn’t care.

The point is here that my coaches were awesome people and they always filled me up with positive statements. Imagine you guys in this position. Your coach is so important to your progress. He can make you do things you can’t even imagine. Hopefully your coach is passionate about what he/she is doing. Get a bad ass coach and take your workouts or sport to the next level guys. Good luck with it and as always stay forged strong!
