The Illusion of Control

Take three minutes if you can and watch this. It is from Kung Fu Panda.




Here is my favorite line from this scene.
"Look at this tree. I cannot make it blossom when it suits me nor make it bear fruit before its time."

All that can be done as a coach is guide, nurture and believe. When the time comes the athlete will blossom and your work together will bear fruit.

Give up the illusion of control and believe!
