Yesterday I attempted to answer the question, “What does Living Story Coaching have in common with Dan Magill, the legendary 90-year-old coach of Georgia?” Here is the rest of the answer.
4. Dan Magill coached the individual, not just the game of tennis. He drew out the strengths in each player and called them to play their game.
Living Story Coaching can help people as they reflect deeply on their unique gifts, passions, strengths, struggles, and redemption (vision) and consider what that means for how they live their lives (mission).
5. Coach Magill called his players to account. He was no softy coach. Players were expected to practice hard and play hard, to bring their best in play, sportsmanship, and respect for the game. If they didn’t do what they were asked, they didn’t play.
Living Story Coaching won’t be a nagging parent, a scolding teacher, or a screaming football coach. We will, however, create a space for clients to be accountable. We are designed to grow in the context of community. That’s why working with someone who is ‘for you’ in every way draws you to make significant changes.
