What Do People Think of You?

Have you ever been haunted by the thought, “What people think of me?” “What would they say if I picked Roy instead of Paul?” If you aim to become a top coach, you’ll never bother with what people say about your work. You should worry about what your conscience says. To follow your conscience means you’re a coach with a strong character. The largest obstacle in building a strong character is the fact that it can’t be built overnight. This is always a slow process. Maturing ourselves takes hard work of a lifetime. Today’s major obstacle in building a strong character is the continued fast pace of life and running after achievements of material value. Within a blink of an eye, a huge number of coaches can tell you the names the first 11 of their opposing teams, but in terms of their own character, they’ll struggle to say a few words as they’ve probably failed to recognize who they actually are. Character cannot be built without knowing ourselves, without learning and constant development. This is normal as success can’t be reached without victims and sacrifices. The best example of this is the coaching profession itself. Getting up early in the morning to get ready for training, having lunch, and then back to the training pitch once again. During the evening more match analysis, training preparation for the next day, and so on. This repeats day after day. It’s the same with our character.

To build your own character, you need to invest a huge amount of persistence and premeditated work. Don’t ever complain or justify why you’re this or that, why you’re passionate, temperamental, or have a short fuse. Your seemingly untamed passion and fiery temperament can be nurtured with practice. Everything is simply a matter of desire, exercise, and training. Those that give up easily usually say “I’m this way by nature. That’s how I was born.” This certainly isn’t true. To back this up, I always remember the late president of the club where I started my career. After drinking just a few glasses of alcohol, he’d unfortunately turn into an unpleasant and confrontational beast. As a very clever man, he immediately recognized his drinking issues and worked hard to address them. He then gave up alcohol. Even today, I admire the positive strength of his character. Everything can be achieved if there’s a real desire and it’s never too late for a man to become the man he wants to be!

The Person I Am

Regardless of the level of competency or expertise of a coach, the players and sports public see him first as a person. If they don’t like him as a person, they won’t like him as a coach, despite his knowledge and skills. Besides giving a positive answer to the question, “What kind of an expert am I?,” a coach is also expected to answer the question, “What kind of person am I?” Do you know how much time you’ve
