What makes a great coach?

1/12/2022

I have worked with a few coaches in my time. I have been coached by many amazing and giving people and some of these include Graham Mander, Hamish Willcox as a youth, by John Clinton, a technical expert, by the ‘The Medal Maker’, Victor Kovalenko, and many more. I remember learning from sailmakers, boatbuilders, riggers, sailors at the club and my peers.

When I think about coaching, some words that come to mind are supportive, consistent, available, approachable, communicative, knowledgeable, experienced and analytical. Most importantly, I have found that a great coach is a friend, even on your worst day.

I have learned that at any level, in any field, you perform best when you are relaxed, confident and focused. A coach is a partner in your progress and your achievement. We often hear the word, facilitator. Meaning ‘to make easy’. You could describe a facilitator, as someone who makes learning easy, or focusing easy or whatever challenge you have, easier.

A coach watches and helps you overcome your difficulties. If it didn’t happen today; the coach will be there tomorrow; and so will you be. No problem!

"Great coaches have great experience, and great technical knowledge but they have rarely been the most outstanding performers themselves. Why? Well; often they are great team-members. They link well and make others look good. They know what it is like to have to find ways to improve regardless of natural ability and other difficulties. They become great analysts of the sport, and great communicators when coaching. Does this mean long speeches? No! But they can get through to you. They have special people skills" says Rob Dickson.

When developing, failure is always on the pathway to success. A good coach creates an environment in which you can be relaxed and focused while you push your limits and develop your capacities. For that reason, even you could be your best coach to a point, if you have access to the right information - from reading, watching videos, and listening to the right people. You can push your limits to the point where you fail, but be kind to yourself and learn too!

So now you have a boat (or do you?) are you going to get some guidance?
How are you going to find someone to help you enjoy learning the basics?

- Go to your local club and ask around
- Advertise on local pages
- Join local sailing pages
- Ask a friend for recommendations
- Ask people at your local beach/waterway
- Ask other boat owners/previous owners

To have someone to challenging you in a supportive way is a fantastic experience. So is having a coach who can share some special moments with you!

Good day viewers, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs, but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery, and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery, and he clarified the process to me, stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers, which I accepted. I followed all his instructions, and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning, I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I'm here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. For over two years, I relied on Levodopa and several other medications, but unfortunately, the symptoms kept getting worse. The tremors became more noticeable, and my balance and mobility started to decline quickly. Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try a herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic.
Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My movements became smoother, the tremors subsided, and I felt steadier on my feet. Incredibly, I also regained much of my energy and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve felt in years.If you or a loved one is struggling with Parkinson’s disease, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach.

LORD BUBUZA LOTTERY SPELL MADE ME A WINNER: My name is Charles Coffey, I'm 81 years old, an Officer of the Order of Canada who has spent a lifetime standing for good causes. Yet today, I’m lost for words to thank Lord Bubuza the great lottery spell caster. I played Lotto Max for years but never won. My wife begged me to stop wasting money, and it broke my heart. One day, while searching online about life after retirement, I found people praising Lord Bubuza for helping them win the lottery. I decided to contact him through WhatsApp. He responded kindly and told me what was needed to cast a lottery spell. Just two hours after he completed the spell, Lord Bubuza sent me 7 numbers and a bonus number. I played them immediately and to my greatest surprise, I won $1,000,000. Lord Bubuza brought joy and hope back into my life when I needed it most. I will forever be grateful to him. Please join me in appreciating the great SPELL CASTER via email: [email protected] or WhatsApp: +1 (365) 808 5313

"I'm still in awe of the incredible work Priest Ayo did for me! My heart was shattered into a million pieces when my husband left me, but Priest Ayo's powerful love spell brought him back to me, just as he promised!

AI has caused me more problems than it has solved. I was connected to a cryptocurrency trader through Google AI and lost my hard-earned money to a scam. If it weren't for the assistance of Lord Meduza, whom my sister-in-law recommended to me, I wouldn’t have been able to win the $435 MILLION Mega Millions Lottery. My life could have taken a drastic turn due to the overwhelming bills I faced after being cheated by the crypto traders. Lord Meduza utilized his extraordinary spell powers to determine the perfect six numbers I needed to win the Mega Millions Lottery, and I followed his instructions to play those numbers. I am incredibly thankful for the support, love, and kindness he has shown, which is beyond measure. For further details on contacting him regarding his services, please visit this website: lordmeduzatemple.com or If you need an immediate response, you can email him at: [email protected] or reach him via Whats App at +1 (807) 907-2687.

HOW TO GET YOUR EX BACK WITH YOU NOW!!!
I have something to share with you!!! There is a great joy in my heart which I want to share with everyone. My name is Gunn Jenssen Faith . I had a misunderstanding with my lover several months ago; which led us to break up and he never wanted to hear my voice again. But as time went on, a good friend of mine recommended Father Agbon who could help me with Love Spell to get my man back. At first, I thought the idea of a love spell was strange,but was willing to give it a try because i really love my boyfriend. For the first time I was scared to contac the Father Agbon because I was not sure if what they did was against my religion. But my friend assured me that they only use Spell which is safe and has no side effects. I felt a little better and decided to contact Father Agbon on his mail ([email protected])I contacted him through his email and explained everything to him. He said that I shouldn't worry, that my lover will come back to me on his knees begging for forgiveness. I bought an item that he told me to buy for the preparation of the spell and assured me that my lover will come to me within 48 hours in remorse. My greatest joy now is that he actually came back to me and fell on his knees begging for forgiveness. We got back together and our relationship has been better this second time around. I have to give Father Agbon all the credit for helping us get back to a better place than where we began. The new found love that my boyfriend has for me is incredible and i can't wait to see what the future holds for us. Do you have any problem with your loved one? Well worry no more because Father Agbon can provide you with a spell to get him or her back. With the help of a spell just as he helped me. Contact Father Agbon via email: [email protected] Whatsapp NUM: +2349058797761

My girlfriend ended our relationship for seemingly no reason and I came to understand that my financial struggles may have contributed to this, as a healthy relationship is difficult without money. For spellcasting, Lord Meduza is the right person to turn to. My girlfriend left me for another man due to my financial situation, but after connecting with Lord Meduza, he created a spell that not only brought my girlfriend back but also made me a lottery winner of €116 million by providing me with the 6 lucky numbers to play the lottery. My life is incredibly beautiful and I owe my deepest appreciation to Lord Meduza I strongly encourage everyone to reach him for help through his email: [email protected] or you Whats_App this number +1 (807) 907-2687 or know more from here: lordmeduzatemple.com

I’m at a loss for how to express this. My sister welcomed twin daughters in July and I found myself in a difficult financial and emotional state. I am known as Celta Vallecano and during my quest to find quick cash, I came across an advertisement claiming that Lord Meduza provides precise numbers to those genuinely selected for freedom from financial struggles through his genuine spell. I felt compelled to take a chance, and ever since reaching out to Lord Meduza, my life has significantly improved. As I write this, I am now a winner of €221 Million Euros after adhering to all the guidance and utilizing the MEGA MILLIONS numbers provided by Lord Meduza. I want to express my high gratitude for the fact that assistance is indeed possible to get regardless of how difficult your circumstances may seem. I highly recommend him in case you require any assistance, simply Whats--App +18079072687 or Email: [email protected] and for more inquiring visit: lordmeduzatemple.com
