Exactly what thoughts does that conjure up for you? New clothes? New back pack? Kids back to school? Football games? Enrolling in a new program/class yourself? Leaves changing colors? Whatever comes to mind seems to lead to something new, a change or a transition.
I think back to when I was in school, getting ready for the new year. I was always so excited about new clothes and new shoes. I was excited about new books with clean pages. I couldn’t wait to see friends that I hadn’t seen all summer, meet my new teachers and find out what everybody had been doing. At the same time, you were always a little apprehensive about where’s your locker, what’s your locker combination, where’s your classroom, who’s in your classes? But even those apprehensions added to the excitement of starting something new. That was always such a great feeling.
Why is it today that so many adults struggle when they have to face something new or different? What happened to that enthusiasm most of us used to have? Maybe the next time you’re faced with a new situation, you ought to sit back and reflect on what it felt like each year when you went “back to school”. I’m thinking perspective plays a big part in how we each choose to react to each new situation that comes our way. And because of our perspectives, some of us can’t move through the changes as quickly and smoothly as others. That’s when a coach may very well provide the support to help you identify the change, consider your perspective and work through it more easily.

Sports Spouses - The Challenge of Being a Coach's Wife
Being a coach’s wife takes a special person. You automatically become the CEO of your household and family. You are the “glue” that holds it all together. When it’s time to move, you make all the arrangements. When it comes to dealing with the kids issues at school, you deal with the teachers. When it comes to soothing your spouse’s bruised ego after a loss, you’re the one who’s there for them.
When recently working with a group of coaches’ wives and asking the top three to five challenges of being a coach’s wife, the number one reason was loneliness followed by work/life balance, limited family time, lack of communication and dealing with change. Sound familiar?
Being a coach’s wife may be fulfilling enough for some women, but not for others. That certainly doesn’t mean that they don’t love their husbands or that they’re not supportive. It may just mean that they also need to be fulfilled as a person themselves. By working with a coach, women would have an opportunity to find out what it is that fulfills them. In addition, they can share experiences and build camaraderie.
Coaching is an opportunity for the wives to identify their own goals and issues, develop a plan for obtaining them and be held accountable.
