On the drive home, I decided to try to get my Mom to talk about what she wants to do with her life if she lives another 10 years. Initially, she simply said she didn’t want to talk about it. Of course, I couldn’t accept that, so with continued prodding, “No, I mean if you could do anything you wanted to do, what are your dreams? If you had a wish, what would it be?” After numerous what I thought were “coach-like” questions, she responded with, “Why don’t you suck on one of those candies for a while and stop talking about it!”
I guess she told me. At 83 years old, maybe thinking about the future isn’t 10 years out. Instead, she seems to enjoy talking about the past or simply dealing with the present. This certainly was a lesson for me. It reminded me of a previous training concept I had learned, BE HERE NOW. Sometimes, what’s happening right now is far more important than planning for the future.
My challenge to you is to take a moment to think what is it that you
really want to be doing right now. in this very moment. Are you living
in the present? Are you taking in what’s happening at this moment?
Don’t be one of those people who lives behind a video camera and
actually ends up missing the moment. As I learned from this experience
with my Mom, whether she knows it or not, is that it may not always be
necessary to be planning everything. Some of it you have to take it as
it comes.

Sports Spouses - The Challenge of Being a Coach's Wife
Being a coach’s wife takes a special person. You automatically become the CEO of your household and family. You are the “glue” that holds it all together. When it’s time to move, you make all the arrangements. When it comes to dealing with the kids issues at school, you deal with the teachers. When it comes to soothing your spouse’s bruised ego after a loss, you’re the one who’s there for them.
When recently working with a group of coaches’ wives and asking the top three to five challenges of being a coach’s wife, the number one reason was loneliness followed by work/life balance, limited family time, lack of communication and dealing with change. Sound familiar?
Being a coach’s wife may be fulfilling enough for some women, but not for others. That certainly doesn’t mean that they don’t love their husbands or that they’re not supportive. It may just mean that they also need to be fulfilled as a person themselves. By working with a coach, women would have an opportunity to find out what it is that fulfills them. In addition, they can share experiences and build camaraderie.
Coaching is an opportunity for the wives to identify their own goals and issues, develop a plan for obtaining them and be held accountable.
