The best thing you can receive from a coach is the inspiration and guide. A coach can be one of the most important persons in your life and make you be a better person. She is the one who will make you pass your limits, the one who will make you grow. A best friend and the worst enemy at the same time ;) As a swimmer I always had a very good relation with my coaches and school teachers. I took the maximum I could from them. So I’m very grateful to had the chance to do it. Why? 1.- Mainly because I was (and I am) VERY HUNGRY to LEARN. Not only with the teachers, from EVERYBODY. This is very important because absolutely everybody has something to learn from. 2.- I always know that NOBODY IS PERFECT, neither I am, so I don’t expect perfection from others. This help a lot to not have expectations and frustrations. I don’t expect anybody to solve my problems so I don’t get disappointed. If they “attack” me, I try to learn from it. 3.- I COMMUNICATED with them with 100% TRANSPARENCY. As coaches if the swimmer reticent to have dialogue you won’t connect. Even if it’s for a negative issue that involves the coach, tell her BUT in private, never talk against the coach in front of the team. She will never take it well. If you explain your problems and also good experiences you will build a good relation and the will to help each other. This means GROWTH, for both! If you have a problem with her, it’s very important you talk to her, with all the love you have inside, because as coaches we feel everything and no communication means no trust. No communication means no motivation to grow neither! What to do if there is no way to CONNECT with her? Tell her. Yes. All you think. Ask about how to improve the relation. This is the best thing you can do in ANY RELATIONSHIP. Talk. Nobody wants uncomfortable relationships, if both of you agree in improve it, it will happen but it has to be an agreement and a plan! Don’t miss this unforgettable opportunity to have this person on your life!」12月16日 17時57分
