In high school, in sport, I had a coach who told me I was much better than I thought I was, and would make me do more in a positive sense. He was the first person who taught me not to be afraid of failure.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm used to being coached. Something I learned long ago is that a coach is trying to make you better and to be the best version of yourself.
My coach is pushing me harder than ever to make sure I stay at a good level.
If all my bridge coach ever told me was that I was 'satisfactory,' I would have no hope of ever getting better. How would I know who was the best? How would I know what I was doing differently?
I always felt if you were going to be successful, make sure you get good people. You win with great players. Coaches don't win games. Players win games.
I was able to overcome my failures because I was always confident of my abilities and was sure I could achieve what I had set out for.
I was no great achiever at school, either academically or in the sporting field... I was always tending to be in trouble.
Coaches give you too much information. I've been allowed to develop that intuitive ability in my career and lifetime.
I've learned never to expect people to be better than they are, but to always have faith that they can be more.
I grew up playing sports. There is a clear line between success and failure.
All my coaches tell me that I have been under achieving.
