Great article by Paul Banasiak from a fighter transitioned to a coach point of view.
A summary of how a coach and his fighters/students mean more than just training. Click on the link above for full article.
1. A coach will take your personal life into account, your skill, your work ethic, and your mindset to set you up for success at the correct pace.
Your coach is there to lead you to your goals, but more importantly, educate you on what it will take.
2. Your trainer’s job is to provide you with opportunities, but only if you match his or her efforts. The work you put in is ultimately what will lead you to success in your goals.
“If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.
3. No one wants to train a skilled fighter or practitioner who is arrogant or close-minded for a prolonged period of time or at all. Skills can bring you a lot of attention, but never mistake attention for success or respect.
It is a good coach’s job to steer you in the right direction, but it is your job to listen, learn and act truthfully. Be good to others, help others learn, show respect in and out of the ring. Be a good human being.
