As coaches, we share a deep concern for our athletes as they prepare for their important events. Feeling a bit anxious is natural; those who claim otherwise might not be fully honest with themselves. We genuinely want our clients to succeed, and we know there are countless variables to manage along the way. Despite our best efforts to follow structures and protocols, it’s completely normal to feel nervous. We care deeply and understand the pressures involved, both for the athletes and for ourselves. We just never show it. Watching people succeed is beautiful if you care enough.
