It’s simple, Coaches and athletes have to have goals. However, you have to make sure that the athletes and coaching staff buy into those goals and are all on the same page too. How do you do that? How does it work? What does it look like before/during/after? Well, this season was all about that. This season was a different monster; it was something I wasn’t quite ready for. I was responsible for practice development, discipline and general team maintenance....
There will be an agreement in whatever variety of actions, so they be each honest and natural in their hour. – Ralph Waldo Emerson What would you say to the person you were five years ago? What will you say to the person you’ll be in five years? Five years ago, I was in transition between the University of Evansville and Xavier University. The year was disappointing to me....
Our arts, our occupations, our marriages, our religion, we have not chosen, but society has chosen for us. We are parlour soldiers. We shun the rugged battle of fate, where strength is born. – Ralph Waldo Emerson Next to Resistance, rational thought is the artist or entrepreneurs worst enemy. Bad things happen when we employ rational thought, because rational thought comes from the ego. Instead, we want to work from the Self, that is, from instinct and intuition, from the unconscious....
If we live truly, we shall see truly. – Ralph Waldo Emerson Not everyone wants to travel the world, but most people can identify at least one place in the world they’d like to visit before they die. Where is that place for you, and what will you do to make sure you get there? I’ve been lucky… While I was still in school I was able to travel to the one place outside of the US that I’ve always wanted to visit, the Republic of Ireland....
Today’s task seems slightly more daunting than yesterday. Somehow I am supposed to describe my day in only one sentence. Shouldn’t be too hard…right? Author Liz Danzico. “Your genuine action will explain itself, and will explain your other genuine actions. Your conformity explains nothing. The force of character is cumulative. – Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance” My Response: Don’t let today get in the way of the rest of your life; you’ll have struggles but keep your friends and family close, they’re the best support you’ll ever need....
I’m starting to find myself in some tough spots. Last week we had a few guys that were having a rough time even making it through pushing off of a wall without stopping immediately. This combined with the fact that we have a 6-lane pool with over 30 swimmers meant that we unfortunately had to make some cuts. Now for a business example. We (at @UniqueHomeSol) recently setup a marketing group to head up our online, TV and print campaigns....
I know that when I started looking for jobs in college I looked for just about any place that was offering a job. The worst part about it was looking for something within my Degree (BSBA in Business Management). Obviously trying to find a “management” job was out of the question unless it would be lower-level. Target your Ideal Job The best advice that I can even begin to give to Juniors and Seniors looking for a permanent job is to target the type of job that you want not just what you pre-qualify yourself for....
This weekend I decided to head down to visit my girlfriend, who is attending IU Medical School, and while we know that living an hour apart is going to be tough we never realized how hard it was until today around 2:00. She and I have been together for the last five years and honestly we’ve both been rather selfish with doing what we want instead of really thinking about one another....
