Do you explore things with genuine curiosity? Do you ask questions, try different ways, challenge the “way it’s always been”? I believe having a genuine curiosity about the world allows you to question things and constantly learn new and different ways of doing things. Be curious.

This last weekend I got to meet a childhood idol of mine, Jim Thome. It got me thinking about the power of heroes. We all have people we look up to growing up. Each person becomes an idol in our lives for various reasons, but they all impact our growth and development and how we choose to pursue things. Now as I am older, I hope to make an impact on someone’s life the way my idols have shaped mine. It’s interesting the power our heroes have on us. We never meet them in most cases, yet their lives impact ours in many ways. How would you feel meeting one of your idols? How would you feel knowing you were someone else’s idol? Keep pursuing greatness, but remember the greater you become, the more people will hope to be you one day.

After my conversation with Coach Tressel, a thought kept lingering in my mind. Why do leaders try to immediately impact change through barking orders? Coach Tressel mentionead his use of asking those around him what they’re thinking and what’s important to them. I love this idea. I think leaders should always take time learning their people and asking how they can help before trying to change everything all at once. There may be something they didn’t know needed attention that would otherwise go unfixed. Be patient as a leader.

As a coach, leader, teacher; we must make sure that we are prepared to help the people we work with succeed. I believe the best way to do that is to continue to practice the things we ask our students to do. Practicing what you coach keeps your skills sharp, puts you in a space to make adjustments to what you cue, and keeps the love of your craft alive. Keep working on yourself and then put that energy into those you work with.
