- I am NOT the fastest
- I am NOT the strongest
- I am NOT the most talented
- Pick me out of a crowd?
- Stand out enough to catch your eye, or will I just blend into the background and become one of many you won't remember?
- Are you the best?
- Are you the smartest?
- Are you the most skilled and experienced at seeing beyond talent?
- Can you inspire me?
- Can you help me achieve a new level and let the desire and passion I have for this game feed my willingness to learn and succeed?
- Are you willing to take a chance on me and TEACH me?
- Can you be that coach?
Coaches Comments:
NEVER forget this is a child we are evaluating. An unfortunate and cruel reality of competitive sports is, it can bring out the best in some. In others, it can make them perform at a level well below their true capabilities. It is a stressful time for all involved, that must be taken into account and a coach, or evaluator's job is to try and put the players at ease. It is not always possible but, it is your duty to try and achieve this.
A positive and encouraging environment can ultimately bring out the best in anyone.
I guess this is just another of my dreams for a perfect world.
