Still asking "What sport?" when you meet a coach? Then it's time to catch up.
In business, education, and healthcare, working as a "coach" sounded like a made-up position 15 years ago. Today, if you're not working with a coach in your field, you are falling behind those who are utilizing this common practice to fast-track their progress and success.
Let's start where you're at...
If you're still at coaching = sports, let's start there. It doesn't really matter what sport you choose, there's a "Miracle" story out there for every game. After all, it's been shown time and again that putting together a winning team is complicated by so many more factors than bringing together the biggest, strongest, and fastest at the game. Players can have all the talent it takes to win, but without a coach with a clear vision and strategy to address their weaknesses, they ultimately fall short. While a coach isn't shooting the puck, he or she puts the players in a position to make the shots happen with the knowledge and support that allows them to overcome roadblocks.
In one of the most dramatic upsets in Olympic history, the 1980 U.S. hockey team defeated four-time back-to-back gold medal-winning Soviet team. In the 2004 film "Miracle", actor Kurt Russell starred as coach Herb Brooks, who many credit with the stunning victory that surprised the entire world. (Disney Enterprises)
Shifting Your Perspective
Imagine if you had to be an expert in well... everything it takes to allow you to function on a daily basis. You'd never have the time to perform effectively in your career, let alone relax and spend time with your family.
Consider how many of these professionals you employ...
Could you figure out how to do the jobs these professionals complete for you? Eventually... But the time it would take to gain the knowledge to do these jobs competently, let alone obtain the proper equipment, far exceeds the cost of simply hiring the right person to do the job for you. They take care of the problem, so you can spend your time on the priorities that are meaningful to you.
A coach's work is very similar, with one distinct difference. A coach guides you through the things that can't be done "for" you... Because no one else can eat for you, make the right business decisions for you, or fix your relationships for you.
While the coach isn't the one throwing the pitch, he or she is an integral part of the success of the players.
Winning the game
In my own life, coaches have helped me tremendously with my mindset - in changing what I see as being possible. They've raised the bar, so to speak.
My coaches have given me a structure for my days, weeks, and months that have provided a framework for my life. They've provided a shortcut system with proven plans that are easy to put into action. I don't have to figure things out on my own or reinvent the wheel.
As I've worked through these proven systems, my coaches have been there to answer my questions when issues arose. They have also been there to make sure I stayed on track and gave me gentle nudges to keep going when I might have wanted to give up.
If you want to win this game... the high-stakes game that is your personal health. If you want to become the person you have waiting inside with energy, stamina, and drive... you have to be willing to invest in the right professional to make it happen.
A health coach isn't some made-up profession - He or she is the one who is going to provide a system that fast-tracks your success. Stop struggling. Start winning.
You're never going to be left alone or in the dark...
I'm coming to the end, almost day 40, and it's been terrific. You know, there may not be a perfect diet, but this is in the same zip code in my view. I would do it over again in a heatbeat. I'm down 33 pounds in 40 days, and I feel great! My skin, my hair, my mental acuity - everything's on the uptick!
