A coach's influence
Being an athlete can be tough. On one hand it may seem glorious to be idolized by fans or respected by peers, but on the other it can be difficult to deal with the pressure to please people. For many athletes, as was the case for me, how we cope with these pressures has a lot to do with how we are coached. Coaching is a much more important commitment, job or hobby than most people realize. It is much more than simply teaching kids how to play a game.
