Somebody told me.
Those who cant teach, play and those who cant play, teach. Yet the idea of a coach is often mixed with ideas of victory and loss. In fact it is only associated to the ranks of win and loss. Needless to say , wins are a vitality in sports but in a most cliche fashion that i can ever say it in, let's not forget value. Not values but value. The value of everyone player.Ive played in teams, different teams, different sports. Yet i cannot begin to explain how the methods of a coach automatically displays the attitude of a player. A team. The answer to that. Is inconsistency. A team is uniform to be inclined as one. An inconsistency in that displays a team thats either incompetent or ignorant. Yet in this case ironically, ignorance just may be bliss. As long as the axe doesn fall on you. But its really simple aint it. An individual is nurtured on its own and developed into a better athlete upon joining a team, a school team for instance. He fluctuates in his performance and yet feels no worry for the coach has an authority that is powerful beoynd words. He has the ability to shoot you down and yet also the noble responsibility of picking you up. In my opinion, the essence of a true coach or coaching stuff is as such. If they see a value in a player that they seem to have lost contact with, they seek it and they get it back. Wins are a bag of demographics that the human race sees as competency and that is a harsh reality but in that, there is also humanity. A belonging is very important. Without that belonging, it takes even the strongest athlete to rebuild his fort of faith and confidence. A coach wins with the team and the team, feels a winner . But life aint a fucking bed of roses eh mate?
