Both of us have a goal of eventually doing high performance coaching. I don't know how coaches function if their spouse is not in sport because no one really understands your career choice unless they, too, are involved. It's a career you live. My phone can ring at all hours. I'm always troubleshooting, always handling the next situation, dealing with an athlete or another coach, and that's what makes it exciting.
Every day is new and different with challenges to face.
You're interacting with people, you're guiding and helping people, and you're making a difference. Coaching is about goal setting, about healthy bodies and minds, about people becoming effective. The most effective people are those who can prioritize their lives, achieve their goals, and find balance. You're always searching for that peak performance, that best ever, and to achieve that, you have to have incredible control over everything around you, and yourself as well. If a coach can help someone to achieve that, that's nothing you're ever going to do in the business world.
