Other examples of analogies that have been used in coaching are “move as if you are trying to put a cookie in a jar that is on a high shelf” for basketball free throws and “grip the club like you are holding a tube of toothpaste so that you don’t squeeze any out” for golf putting. Instead of trying to give you the exact solution to the problem we are using an analogy to convey its key features.

I frequently encounter people in various degrees of distress caused by being stuck or lost, mostly professionally. I offer them all a profoundly optimistic insight. **I believe your present suffering is directly proportional to your future potential.** *I can’t see how it could be any other way*.
What Nobody Tells You

A Conscious Coach is someone who sees the big picture and is able to balance the science and art of coaching. Someone who understands all the technical material but is also comfortable adapting it for a given athlete’s needs. Conscious Coaching is about figuring out an athlete’s purpose and matching it with an evidence-based coaching process. It’s focused on understanding what really drives our athletes from the inside out so that there is a shared enthusiasm for what we’re trying to accomplish, the level of effort and dedication necessary in order to make it happen, and how we can best surmount and adapt to the obstacles that we’ll inevitably encounter along the way. Pay close attention to Conscious Coaches at work and you’ll notice everything they do is strategic yet natural: from the way they alter their tone of voice, to how they explain a drill or exercise, to where they stand in relation to an athlete, to how they hold their own bodies.
