Coaching Concepts - The Art of Transition -
"Actually getting from HERE to THERE"
By Jo Anne Froelich

Trust me, it’s not always easy. Over the last year, I have been in a state of transition as I made the decision to leave corporate America and start my own business.

It can be fun! It can be exciting! You can learn a lot and I’m always amazed at what else is out there. At the same time, it can be scary, a little lonely and somewhat stressful. Transition (according to Webster) is passing from one condition, form, stage, activity, place, etc. to another. That sounds very simple. However, it takes a lot of time and energy. One moment you think you know exactly where you’re going and the next, you have no idea.

For me, I’ve found that being open to whatever comes your way is very important. Meeting and talking with lots of people about what it is you’re trying to accomplish really opens lots of doors. You need to make sure you follow up on every lead. Don’t second guess yourself as to whether it’s the “right” move or not. Try it and if it doesn’t work, learn from it.

Each of us is pretty much always in some “state of transition”. Some transitions are simply more obvious than others. I’ve also learned that working with a coach helps you focus on the transition and work through it more efficiently and effectively.

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.
