Recently, I have read a couple of news articles which resonated with my lifestyle as a coach and teacher.
This article on football coach Blake Nill captured the relationship I have with many of the rowers I coach. This relationship is often misunderstood, and I feel Coach Nill captured it quite well.
Another article on the passing of rowing coach Jack Nicholson encompasses coaching as service to people. While we live in an age where sustained volunteerism has declined, I am fortunate to have employment in two areas I love - coaching and teaching. Providing guidance to young people through sport and education fuels my life with purpose and intent. The lessons I learn in these sectors will guide me in being a better husband and a future parent.
