None of us need to live with the negative feelings (and physical impacts) that stem from stressful thoughts. We can question those thoughts and learn that we can see reality for what it is, perfection, and that we don’t need fear or desire to motivate us to act. When we’re clear in our thinking we act out of love. After all, coaches love coaching, right?

You might give Byron Katie’s book, Loving What Is, a read and then pass it on to Coach Dantonio and any other coaches you know. Katie does The Work (four simple questions, including the two above, plus turnarounds) all over the world with everyone from parents to prisoners. Coaches and athletes will likely find out about it sometime soon and take full advantage of it.
