JUST KEEP COACHING

Coaching and leadership can be a lonely, draining journey. People often ask much more of you than they are willing to give, and you rarely feel appreciated for going above and beyond for all the people in your life.

It can feel like you are giving and giving and giving while everyone around you just takes and takes and takes.

BUT REMEMBER WHY YOU DO IT.

Remember the coaches you had when you were growing up and the impact that they had on your life.

Remember that these kids and their families NEED you. Your parents need someone they can trust to help raise these kids and teach them both to love the game and life lessons through sports.

Remember that these kids you coach will have memories of their time with you - good and/or bad.

Remember that the coaches you are leading and mentoring both look up to you and are watching you. You are training the next generation of coaches and leaders.

Whenever I feel drained, I remember that because I am called to coach and lead, I am also called to serve, so I serve.

I serve the kid or parent that needs me the most no matter what I get back.

We reap what we sow, and no matter what is happening in the present, when we serve, we are building up treasures in the right place.

So just keep showing up. Just keep leading. Just keep coaching. The world needs more good coaches and leaders like you.

Today SOAR had our annual kickoff meeting. We have a great year planned. Always focusing on form and fitness and fun, also looking at 6 possible races this year! Wasabi is offering weekly fundamentals paddles if we want some back to basic training. We are planning a paddling clinic. We are reordering some fun swag. And as always, we are offering a place to enjoy camaraderie while enjoying the river that flows through our city. Come join the best group of women I know and give us a try. Whether you’ve never paddled, have only done Rose Fest, or you have experience and are looking for a team- we would love to have you give us a try. As ever I am so thankful I reached out that July day in 2019.
Paddles up!
