Goal Setting
My daughter plays softball. When she was 12, something happened. She stopped listening to me and her mother when it came to softball. But she still liked to play and had set a goal for herself, to play High School Varsity Softball. In order to reach that level of competition, she needed help. So her Mother and I set out to find her a coach who could help her reach her goal.

Sports are lot like business. So, if you looking for someone to coach you to help you reach your goals, here is what we found when looking for someone to coach our daughter:

• A Good Coach is someone who you must trust.
• A Good Coach will help you set your goals, not his goals.
• A Good Coach will help you reach those goals and hold you accountable if you don’t.
• A Good Coach will knows how to motivate you to reach your goals.
• A Good Coach will be able to see how all the players relate to each other.
• A Good Coach will be honest and tell you how its.
• A Good Coach may not play the game but she will understand the game and will recognize when it's not being played correctly.
• A Good Coach will know when and what to teach.
• A Good Coach knows that using your gut to help make decisions is important, but numbers never lie.
• A Good Coach expects his players to never stop learning. In fact, he knows they must never stop learning.
• A Good Coach will test and measure to help her player improve.
• A Good Coach will know who and when to ask for help.
• A Good Coach will know that there is more to life than the game. And only a balanced athlete will perform his best.
• A Good Coach knows there will be up and downs. She will celebrate with you in the good and help pick you up in the bad.
  

My Daughter has since reached her goal and now plays on her Varsity High School Softball Team as a catcher. She has set a new goal. She wants to play softball for a Division 1 University. She still has a Coach and he has been helping her achieve her goal.

What’s You Goal?
Could a coach help you reach it?
Those who reach the top rarely get there by themselves.
They all had help.
Don’t be afraid to ask!!!
