\r\nCOACHING CHALLENGE | Figure out what YOU need
\r\nWith 99% of our mental and emotional energy being spent on our teams, it’s no wonder so many coaches burn out. We live in a culture where working harder and longer is applauded. But what’s the cost?\u00a0
\r\nWhen you neglect your own needs as a person, you’re ultimately not helping your team either. We of course want to do all we can to help our teams. A big part of that is making sure we take care of ourselves. That’s how we guarantee we bring our best every day.
\r\nLet’s see how many coaches commit to this one…
\r\nThat’s your challenge for the week: figure out what you need. You may need one full day off each week to decompress from softball. Maybe you just need some time each day to\u00a0 spend with your loved ones. Taking a break does not mean you’re neglecting coaching. It means you’ll be able to give more once you are refreshed!
\r\nIf this idea of mentorship sounds appealing to you, you are in the right place! It is such an important and needed aspect of coaching, we’ve incorporated it into all of our programs. Through group mentorship in our Dream Team Blueprint, to our\u00a0 higher level masterminds, to one-on-one mentorship through consulting, we’ve got you covered!
\r\nThe doors will reopen soon for our Dream Team Memberships and we will be accepting applications to our higher level programs this summer! In the meantime. Join us and other coaches like you in our free Mental Sweet Spot Coaches’ Clubhouse on Facebook. There you can test your mentorship muscles and seek support yourself.
