I have been a coach virtually all my life. I started coaching when I was in High School and never looked back. I absolutely love what I do and as that old saying goes I have never worked a day in my entire adult life. That being said, being a great coach takes a tremendous amount of sacrifice and often with little to no recognition. However, if you ask any coach they are ok with this, because all the recognition they need is watching their athletes perform as they find success in whatever their endeavor may be. Many of times we sacrifice days to coach an athlete at an event. We give up time with our families. We wake up early and go to bed late, and if this was not enough when we are not coaching we are thinking of ways to improve. This not only includes self reflection but doing that little bit of research that could make all the difference in that one particular athlete. I know I often go to sleep at night with an athlete on my mind, thinking about how I can improve their performance.
Like me, Jose does not need recognition for being a stellar coach, but, damn, does it feel good to get some love every once in a while. Jose is an incredible coach and he deserves all the accolades that come along with his efforts. His willingness to learn and to develop his own coaching style make him extremely special. I often watch Jose interact in the gym and find myself thinking just how lucky Greg and I are to have such an amazing guy running Precision. He has a special eye for movement and knows exactly what things to say to get the most out of the athlete he is working with. When people speak about the phenomenal coaching at Precision, Jose’s name is always mentioned. Jose does an incredible job for us all, and he deserves all the attributes that come along with his efforts. Have a wonderful birthday, Jose! Enjoy the day, my friend.
