BECOMING A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS: Be careful what you wish for....

Wednesday, June 6, 2012

Sorry that I haven't posted much lately, but I have been pretty busy. After 15 years of paying dues and grinding away, I was hired for my first head coaching job about 3 weeks ago. Having missed Spring Ball, I have a lot of catching up to do. When I get settled I will try to get back to routine postings but for now, don't expect a lot. I still appreciate any questions or comments. Thanks for all of the feedback and support!

THE HUMAN COMPUTER

" The brain has two minds: the conscious and the subconscious. The conscious
mind accepts our thoughts and passes the information on to the subconscious,
which records, sorts, and produces our thoughts. I call this the Human Computer
because of its similar functions to the manufactured computers we use every day.
This process is the key determinant of the actions we will take.......There is a
simple secret that makes this computer analogy valuable. By controlling what
comes into your conscious mind, you can influence your own actions....The Human
Computer accepts as input whatever the conscious mind allows it to receive. Our
subconscious does not know the difference between what is real and what is
imagined; it only processes the input passed to it.........Give it clean,
wholesome, and positive information, and you will act as a person motivated by
those traits. Convey this to your team, and they, in turn, will become believers
and winners."

A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS

The purpose of this blog is to give me an outlet in which to concentrate my efforts to become a more well-rounded human being. When I turned 40 this year, I stopped and took a close look at my life, where I am and where I want to be, both professionally & personally. Twenty years from now, I want to be able to look back and see that I was not only a good football coach, but a good husband, a good father, and a good teacher. Too many times I see men that are successful in coaching at the expense of the other three. Can a man be successful in all four areas? I believe so. I have tried to prioritize the things that I wish to accomplish and identify the areas of personal development that I wish to improve. If someone else finds it interesting or wants to give feedback, please feel free.
