I think both as an athlete and a future coach this class has really changed my perspective towards coaching and how much is involved in truly becoming a good quality coach,

For me, I really understand now, that coaching is more about being a good teacher and not a coach, because you truly have the chance to have an impact on your athlete outside the athletic venture. My coach is such an amazing example of it, and I never realized the impact and the power of this until I started working through this class and could point out so many examples of the concepts that NFHS talked about that he actually used with me.

After taking this class, I realized as an athlete that I need to listen to him more and I owe him an apology for those times that I did not listen to what he was trying to say, because I was being stubborn or whatever. That is one of the biggest reasons I have not progressed the way I could be progressing.

I am hoping that I learned here will not only help me be a better athlete and student to my coaches epically the one who works with me one on one (Sorry Zac). But it will help me as I build a foundation to be the best coach I can be in the future.
