The last while I have seen two things that have made an impression on me.
One, someone rewarded after a long period of committed training. To this person I am extremely proud of and I take my hat off to them. They have worked tirelessly and have never given up. They have done what has been asked of them and more. They have crossed all the t's and dotted all the i's and now they have been rewarded. I am proud to say that I coach them.
Secondly, to those maybe need to heed the thoughts of the one of the great minds of human kind...to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result is the definition of insanity....are you making the same mistakes over and over yet expecting a different outcome?

Monday, January 3, 2011
So, I have been away for a week driving round the South Island on a road trip holiday and I had plenty of time to think. Think about life, why I do what I do, what and who are important to me, what has meaning to me, what gives me pleasure, what drives me and what is it that I want in my life from here on.
Lots of things came up. Mixing with people who give rather than who take is one of them. People who share the same passion as I do and who want to push themselves to achieve, in any shape or form, was also another one. People who have passion and are proactive are important to me. People who don't sit back and wait for things to be served on a plate get my respect. People who are aware of others around them and how their behaviour can influence the lives of others are people I want in my life.
I saw this post on a friends facebook page this morning...

and there is a lot in this 3 minute piece that I really like. Maybe some people will read it and see where I am coming from. Maybe this might influence their behaviour, who knows.
There is some serious potential for my coaching job and GFS situation to change in the next few months and I may not be able to work with all those athletes that I currently do. Some athletes will be invited to continue with me whilst others may have to find another coach. Those who continue with me will most likely be those who possess the things that I think are important in life.
