Women New respect for coaches

[cbone]

I had an opportunity to attend a party for the coaches at our state championships and talk a lot to several different coaches. One thing I never really appreciated is how passionate and engaged coaches are in bringing out the best in our girls. I wondered what coaches would talk about in a social context. They talk about how THEY can get better at making our girls better. They see our gymnasts' potential and are obsessive in their efforts to help the girls reach it. They really love the kids. To all of you who coach- THANK YOU!!!

Yeah, we sometimes are kind of obsessed by gymnastics... Can't count the number of conversation on facebook I had about drills, videos, planning.... And yes, we love these kids. I want each of them to reach their full potential, and as a coach, I want to help them reach it, and not be the one who will held them back because I wasn't a good coach.

And you know, as a person, it's pretty cool to see someone get better and develop abilities, related to gymnastics or not. It's so gratifying. Maybe that's why this job so great. And it's certainly never boring.
