Well, like many things we have accomplished in life, we must take a first step into DOING something to lead where we want to go. My first step into coaching happened many years ago. I mention this, because through coaching volleyball (a sport I played in college), I met a young student who later brought her two boys to a youth golf group I run. They both now play golf, one in college on scholarship, and the other on the high school team. Coaching has really shown me how things will come full circle given time and commitment to being there for others and ethically passing on your love of the game and the fun of sport.
I took several "first steps" from there, and now teach and coach golf for a living and for the love of it. Teaching the mechanics is one aspect of teaching, but not necessarily the the most important aspect of coaching.
I get to observe the awakening of a love for the game as the students become excited about the possibilites they identify and attain. Let's be real, don't we all want something that we feel accomplished in in our lives?
What do you think? What questions come to your mind? Please share your views too.
