Importance of a Coach

Originally Featured in The Javien Chronicles #3

In this issue I will highlight the importance of coaching.

It’s been said that behind every great athlete there is a great coach. Kobe/Shaq and Jordan/Pippen had Phil Jackson; Lance Armstrong had Chris Carmichael; and the Green Bay Packers had Vince Lombardi.

Athletes are not the only ones that employed coaches. Great businessmen have also utilized coaches like Anthony Robbins, Zig Ziglar, and Dale Carnegie. Even the Bible documented the importance of coaching. Elisha had Elijah; the disciples had Jesus; Timothy had Paul.

Coaches assist in goal planning; they teach us how to break through barriers; and they hold us accountable in our actions. Without a coach one can easily become complacent.

I’m personally a huge fan of life coaching. I have a large library of books and CDs of Anthony Robbins, Zig Ziglar, Dale Carnegie, and Napoleon Hill. But my most influential motivator is my wife. She never allows me to become to content, she is always pushing me to excel.

If you ever desired to be anything other than ordinary you too must enlist a coach.
