I think I've found one of the most enjoyable jobs I've ever had. I've enjoyed coaching in the past but as of recently I've found that I really enjoy personally training an individual in their basketball skills. A friend called me up the other day and asked if I wouldn't mind meeting with her daughter who is going into the eighth grade. I've met with her a couple of times and she is the perfect student. She is very teachable, she listens and applies what I tell her and even more surprising is that she practices it on her own. In just two sessions I've noticed huge improvements. I find so much fulfillment out of this. I feel like I can help finely tune this athlete to become what she really wants to be. I can't help but wonder how much better of an athlete I could have been had I had someone to focus on me so closely. I love the idea that this girl gets that especially because she wants it so badly. I love being a part of it. I'm so lucky!
