Dont follow the crowd. From a young age I never followed the crowd. I was always taught to have a leaders mindset. I’ll try and instil that into my own kids as I feel it has helped me to this day.
Where am i going with this?? I had a discussion with an athlete I coached not so long ago and i felt it was time he/she should work with someone else. The problem I had was getting this athlete to close their ears when talking to other friends. They were too hooked up in what others were at and not focused in what they were doing themselves. I would have easy sessions laid out and Id find out that they would have ‘pushed on’ because thats what ‘Mary’ was doing.
