Coaching has its moments.
You might have a day where you are baffled….wondering where did all your motivation go?
How did you go from feeling powerful….to feeling powerless?
What happened?

My son Kaden jumped into a new hobby years ago.
Driftcar racing. Curvy tracks and lots of horsepower. Super fun to watch and even more fun to go for a ride.
During one of the events he was in he took off from the start line and within 2 seconds his whole car shut down.

No power.

They shut down the track to tow his car off.
We opened the hood and started looking for what could have happened to completely shut down his car.
Weird.

Other drivers came running over to offer advice and help to find the source of the problem.
After hours of testing and trying all the advice he resorted to starting at the battery of the car and following every single “red wire” he could find.  That’s the wire that carries the power.

As we were painstakingly following these wires through his car….we found this.

A red wire had been rubbing up against an edge of a metal piece and wore a hole through the wire and the wire had touched the frame of the car and grounded it….blew the main fuse. The car had NO POWER and it only took this one little wire to shut it down. 

Being a coach can give you the idea that you're supposed to be super human and immortal.  Haha!!  Nope, you are still human.  As a human, you will have bad days…you might get triggered…you might feel shut down for some reason that you don’t even know.  This is common, normal and expected. You're still human.

You can still be a Life Coach even while being human.

I tell all my personal clients that your success in coaching 
will actually be scaled to the level that you can “repair” yourself.

That doesn’t mean you do it ALL by yourself. You will require help from others and advice from others along the way.  “Repairing” yourself is a skill you want to learn and use often. Weekly repair work is necessary to stay at your best….at the top of your game.

Start building your box of tools to “fix” yourself when you break down.
You’re in the people business and sooner or later one of your RED WIRES will get worn out and shut you down. 
It’s normal….it’s common…and it will happen.
Plan for repair work.

Here’s a few Repair skills I would suggest learning:

Before each race…my son packs tools and extra parts so that he can be prepared for repairs.
I suggest you do the same.

Hey, your journey is worth it. 
God called you to do this work for a reason.

1. For you to grow

2. Serve others

It’s awesome you are part of the TEAM of coaches in the world.
Your part matters, your voice matters, your message matters.
Tell the world what you do and how you can help them.

Cheering you on,
Coach Kirk
