COACHING ISN’T JUST ABOUT SPORTS
Coaching isn’t something I ever saw myself doing, especially not for my son’s soccer team. But here we are, and it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Oct. 6 is National Coaches Day, and it has me reflecting on how I unexpectedly found myself in the role of a coach. It all started when I was inspired by one of our clients, Jake Harris, who made time to coach a football team despite already having
his hands full. Watching Jake balance his business responsibilities with his commitment to coaching sparked something in me. When I received an email that my son’s soccer team was on the verge of being disbanded due to a lack of volunteers, I knew I had to step in. Initially, I thought, “I’m too busy.” But then I remembered why we moved to this community in the first place — to build a life centered on connection and involvement, not just work. This was my chance to contribute to the community and be a part of something bigger than my day-to- day business operations. So, I decided to become a coach, even though it forced me to take time away from my business. To my surprise, 95% of the kids stuck with me, and some even brought their friends to join the team. Coaching quickly became about more than just teaching soccer. It was about instilling confidence, cultivating teamwork, and creating a supportive environment
where the kids could grow, both on and off the field. Seeing their progress and excitement each week has been one of the most rewarding experiences. It’s also reminded me just how vital it is to find balance. As business owners, we often think we can’t afford to take time off or step away from work. But finding fulfillment outside of work — whether it’s coaching a soccer team or pursuing another passion — can make us better leaders. It’s all about setting up your business to run smoothly even when you’re not there 24/7. You want your business to thrive even when you’re out on a soccer field. So, on this National Coaches Day, I encourage anyone who’s ever thought about coaching or making time for something meaningful to take the plunge. If Jake Harris can make time to coach football while running a successful business, so can you. It’s not just good for you; it’s good for your community, your team, and, ultimately, the durability of your business.
