This was an interesting question posted to me.
Why do I put in so much effort into training and coaching. Who am i doing it for.
This is definitely the most difficult question that I have faced thus far. and i am glad to say, that i have been enlightened, after 4 hours.
When the question came out, it seems that the answer they were looking for is that i am doing it for them. but I have 0 feeling that i am doing it for them. if you all are reading, when u all have the chance of stepping into my shoes few years later, ask yourself this qn again.
My initial answer to the question was i am doing it for myself, to satisfy my own passion. It is not convincing. I am really not selfish to say that its for myself. In fact, later i realise that passion isnt directed at any one person. Passion is not for anyone, its the love of doing something, and just like love, there is no specific reasons. This is one of the reasons y i spend so much effort. but its not someone that i am doing it for.
The toughest part is really to tribute all this to one person. Asked keli and jw about it. 1 said 2ml reply, 1 took fairly long to reply. and in this mean while, i derived at 1 person.. Keli. if to say the one person that i am doing it for, it must be her. She spend so much effort coaching me in the past, and just getting medals is not enough to show appreciation. Medals only shows that she taught well. but to appreciate her effort, is to pass on those knowledge to more people who needs it. It may be diluted, but i will get better at it.
I had another taught that i was doing it for myself, because it helps me to acquire more knowledge. but then, i though, i wouldn't be taking part in competitions like that anymore, how does it benefit me. In the end, it still goes back to the people that im coaching and that will be repaying more to the people that i owe.
Today, i have realised the worst thing about coaching, thanks to chris and i really dunno how to deal with it and get over it. What a coach does is at the background, what a player does is how people judge the player. it may never link back to the coach. if the coach makes a mistake, it is reflected on the player, and that player will be judged by others. It is like making mistake as a coach, the player suffers from what the coach does wrong. It would be so unfair to the player, for having put in so much effort, doing the wrong thing, and all the while thinking that it is right. It is just too much for me to get over it.
