The Servant-Coach
2011-05-20 14:00:00 Why become a coach? It is a lot of work with very little pay (until you get to the highest levels). The hours are not great and the coach get's very little credit when things go well - but much of the blame when they go bad. Why would someone subject themselves to that? Coaching is a vocation, which comes from the Latin word "voca" meaning "to call." We are all "called" to a particular purpose. Is coaching what you are being "called" to do?? Retired Head Football Coach at Florida State University, Bobby Bowden, wrote a great book titled "Called to Coach"
Why They Call You "Coach"
2011-05-18 05:00:00 Many years ago when I first got into the profession, I would tell people that I was Coach and they would ask me, "What sport?" I would relish in sharing stories about the teams and players that I was going through this journey with and everything seemed to come back to one of those stories. To this day, in almost any situation, there is a story or a parable that teaches some life lesson to anyone willing to listen. It would common in the sports world to walk around any venue, game, camp, or clinic to hear, "Hi, Coach"; "What's up Coach?" ; "How are you doing Coach?"; and whether you knew the persons name or not - by calling him or her "Coach" there is an immediate connection ... and a show of respect. Then we'd stand around and share stories that only added to the collection of tools in the toolbox to teach more life lessons down the road.
