What I Love About Coaching

Fall in Mt. Shasta. Snow falling, wood stove burning, such a peacefulness surrounds us. I sit in my chair, hot coffee, notepads and laptop to begin my research for the week. I have a smile on my face thinking about everyone in my life that is effected by what I research. 

I go through each of my challengers each one has touched my heart in some way. 
For as long as I can remember I have been called Coach-Teacher. Whether it was when I was still in high school teaching 4 and 5 year olds to walk on tip toes in ballet to high school cheerleaders or little baseball players still learning to alligator close the ball and now the many busy moms, grandmas, dads and young adults starting out their health and fitness journey. 

Coaching has always been a part of my life. 

I absolutely love helping people. Coaching is the most rewarding job.


I can remember just last year coaching with my new assistant coach and the day our team perfectly did a skill she had been responsible for teaching them. She looked at me beaming and asked "Is this why you do it?" I nodded. "It is." That moment when everything comes together and you walk in to the school and a girl runs at you almost tackling you screaming "I got straight A's! Thank you for pushing me so hard." When you receive a screen shot of the scale that says "I am down 7lbs and I feel amazing, I kept hearing you in the back of my head pushing me to finish my work out, I did it!" 

I feel so fortunate the God has blessed me with the opportunity to help others and He continues to teach me new ways to help others.
