When I think of scary places, all kinds of things come to mind. Things
such as haunted houses, dentist appointments, speaking engagements, job
loss or for some of you, maybe even marriage or commitment! The way I
see it, it’s all about perspective and choice.
For instance,
the idea of a haunted house is usually scary, right? However, some people
think that haunted houses are scary and make them too scared, so they
never go to them. On the other hand, some people think haunted houses
are scary, they love to be scared and so they can’t wait for Halloween
to be able to go to them and be scared. Perspective and choice!
I can remember when my two boys were young, the older one loved to scare
the younger one. All Kyle had to do was put on a mask (any mask) and Kulin
would be scared to death. Kulin + scary mask = scared. Kyle + scary mask
= FUN! Again, perspective and choice!
As adults, there are numerous situations that we
perceive to be scary, such as losing a job or having to give a talk to
a large group. We all know that the majority of people would rather die
than give a speech. And, of course, that takes us back to perspective
and choice.
In the book "Oh, the Places You’ll Go!" by Dr. Seuss, the character finds himself in a very scary place – ALONE!
All Alone!
Whether you like it or not,
Alone will be something
You’ll be quite a lot.
And when you’re alone, there’s a very good chance
you’ll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.
There are some, down the road between hither and yon,
that can scare you so much you won’t want to go on.
But on you will go
though the weather be foul.
On you will go
though your enemies prowl.
On you will go
though the Hakkennn-Kraks howl,
Onward up many
a frightening creek,
though your arms may get sore and your sneakers may leak.
On and on you will hike,
and I know you’ll hike far
and face up to your problems
whatever they are.
And though this may be scary, working through
it is critical to reach success. That’s what a coach can help you
do. A coach can help you face up to those scary things, explore a variety
of perspectives and make choices about how to deal with them.
If you have any scary things that you’re needing to work through

session. I don’t necessarily have any magic spells, but I’d
love the opportunity to help you develop a plan to overcome your fears
and achieve success!

As the spouse of a football coach, is autumn the scariest time of the year for you? Maybe you could use your own coach to help you through this frightful season...
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.
