How do you actually get to calm and stillness despite all the chaos we go through day-to-day? The thing about stillness that is misunderstood is that what we're not doing is quieting down the chaos or our own minds. We're not eliminating all the distractions and the threats around us. Instead, we're doing the opposite. What we're actually saying is, "I can handle it. I am confident in the moment right where I am." We're no longer fighting the threats, and we're comfortable and accepting of where we are.

Thanksgiving is here. Stress levels are high due to work, school, etc. Then, throw in the hectic holiday season with extended family visiting, traveling, shopping, etc. It’s the perfect time to develop a habit of gratitude. There are 1440 minutes in a day, how many minutes do you think about the good in your life? Can you stop right now and think of five things for which you are grateful? By developing gratitude, you shift your focus from what your life lacks, to the abundance that is already present.

The question I ask every coach is, "How are your players going to view you five years from now?" Are they going to say that coach taught me about who I am and put me in challenging environments to learn more about myself? Or, are you going to allow them to blame you? Because when they struggled, you didn't have a solution for them. Ultimately, at the end of the day, your job is to develop your players so that they look back and go, "Yeah, I'm a better person and player because that guy was my coach."
