My world. My view. Commit if you want to go faster. A course to build belief in the decisions we make as coaches. When I commit I’m all in. And when I don’t. The resistance. Is the love of research and development. The passion for the work. My strength and my weakness. When it comes to being creative on purpose and shipping the work. In this case a course. I’ve learnt that a one pager is a great way to commit me to writing it and one step closer to shipping it. Not quite the yellow page that god gave @steven_pressfield but you get the point ?
Taken from the book The Lost Words. Written by @robgmacfarlane Too good not to share.
Incredible week in Scotland with the very best of people ? #lochken
And the impact? Cricket has founds its way into our weekly sports curriculum. Besides tennis, football, tree climbing, swimming and yoga. @sport_wales @uk_sport @glamcricket @ecb.uk.co ??
Didn’t ever think kids watching cricket would be so engaged. Incredible job. @ecb.uk.co @glamcricket @sport_wales @uk_sport. #hundreds
Sheep dog or cat herder? A friend of mine is getting into coaching. He wanted to know who I work with. “I work with people who want to be coached.” I replied. Towards the end of our catch up he began telling me about a meeting he had recently set up. A leadership group from within his company were to receive a keynote speech from a famous sports coach. I wanted to know how the group had been formed. Selection. Which is not extraordinary in sport or work. Would I like to meet the speaker? “No, thanks. I know enough sheep dogs.” Came the reply. When people work in exchange for a monthly wage. Compliance is on the table. Workplace (including sport) coaches are sheep dogs. Sheep dogs become cat herders when they treat people as volunteers. And it is within that space the extraordinary can happen. The world has plenty of sheep dogs. We could do with a few more cat herders
At the head of the trail. I’ve been talking about this days for years.?
