Personal Training

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!
