I'm just back from an Open Water Rowing coach's meeting. There was a lively exchange of ideas and dreams, but the thing that struck me the hardest was how un-competitive we all are. OK, things can get a little exciting in the middle of a race, but as a collective body all these coaches want is to help our kids. We want them to believe in themselves. We want to empower them to lead happy and productive lives.
We are not along. I am willing to believe that there are thousands of groups of adults who sit from time to time just like we did and discuss how they (we) can support each other and grow programs where kids can blossom.
Knowing that makes it lots easier to get up in the morning.
