When Coaches Challenge You

August 7th, 2013 by

Sometimes when it seems like a coach or mentor is really riding you it can feel frustrating.

Just know though, that if they are a true coach they are not pushing and challenging you for their own good. They are not trying to make you miserable. They are pushing you because they want better for you and because they believe you are capable.

When was the last time a friend or family member called you out on something you said you were going to do for yourself but didn’t? When was the last time they believed in you that you actually could?

It is part of a coach’s job to help you bring your behaviors in line with your stated goal even when it is not what you want to hear. If you’re being pushed and challenged, try to remember it is for your own good.
