We’ve all heard it before: “Everybody needs a coach.” It’s a phrase so commonly tossed around that it’s easy to dismiss. But this isn’t just another cliché; it’s a fundamental truth that resonates with anyone serious about personal or professional growth.
Imagine you’re driving a car with no rearview mirrors. You may be focused on what’s ahead, but you’re blind to what’s behind and beside you. This is what life is like without a coach. Your viewpoint is limited to what you know and see, entrapped in your own paradigm. You’re missing out on the greater vision of
your journey—the detours, the shortcuts, the hidden gems that you pass by unknowingly.
A good coach acts as your metaphorical rearview mirror. They help you see aspects of yourself and your situation that you can’t perceive. They stretch your vision to include not just what you’re doing but also what you could be doing. The real value comes in when they guide you to translate this enhanced vision into a concrete plan of action, closing the gap between potential and reality.
To illustrate the stark contrast between a good coach and a bad one, let me share a personal story about my youngest daughter, an accomplished volleyball player. In her early years, she had a coach who’d criticize when the ball got past her but offered no guidance on how to improve. “You should’ve got that!” isn’t coaching; it’s judging.
A couple of years later, she had another coach. The difference was like night and day. This coach not only identified areas for improvement but also showed her how to get better. The result? Two national championships and a transformation from a player to an athlete.
What sets an excellent coach apart from the rest? They don’t have time for your excuses. They’re tuned into your potential and focused on how to unlock it. Your limitations are merely challenges to overcome, not barriers to hide behind.
The transformative power of an excellent coach can never be overstated. In a world where we’re so confined by our limitations and perspectives, a coach broadens our horizon, extends our vision, and steers us toward paths we’d likely miss on our own. If you’re serious about leveling up—in any capacity—get yourself a coach. And not just any coach, but one who will relentlessly push you towards your yet unrealized potential.
So, ask yourself today, are you ready for the journey? Because the road is long, and you’ll need all the guidance you can get.
