What kind of father are you? What kind of father did you have?
Being the father of 2 wonderful daughters I often reflect on the incredibly important role we have had bestowed upon us and I wonder how could anyone NOT take this role seriously.
Personally it has been what has driven me to be the coach that I am today.
The involvment and influence we have on our children as fathers is similar to that involvement and influence we have as coaches. As Fathers, it is our responsibility to help our children to reach their potential as well as to guide them in their many choices. As sport coaches we also assist athletes in reaching their full potential but we also have to guide them in their decisions and in their chosen sport.
As a man and a father I want to be remembered for who I was and what I have done in my home and not my career. I love coaching the many young athletes that I do but there is no joy that even comes close to that of being a father. Fortunately, I am in a field that allows me to have the vest of both worlds.
