Struggles in coaching: Joshua 1 v 9

"Remember I commanded you to be strong & brave. Dont be afraid, because the Lord your God will be with you everywhere you go."

What a verse at a time I need it. Sitting at a competition the whole week & the performances of my athletes have not been satisfactory. So you sit and question what you doing, how you doing it, has enough been done, how have I messed up, where could I have done better. What is wrong with me as a coach & my program?

Sometimes as a coach I believe we need to go through this. Go through the experience of reflection, but we got to make sure we dont break ourselves down so badly that we battle to get up again.

Thats exactly what I am fighting with right now at this meet. It has not been good, my athletes have under performed BUT then even through this unhappiness & disatisfaction the Lord can be the strength through his word. BE Brave & know he is with us.
