Thank you Pavel.
Great Questions Eric Reichelt. You illustrate something Pavel and Dan John talked about in the Easy Strengfth course: as a strength coach you may be given some or no credit for your athlete's success. You may also take the entire blame for an athlete's failure. Evan has won gold at the Paralympics (See the article on SF, I M Possible) and is ranked 16th fastest in North America in able bodied. As to my contribution, there is some "fuzziness" in Evan's sport. It's not Quadrant four, It's quadrant two, many qualities. high percentage of max.
How much credit should I be "looking for?" Ask Evan. Although he is very busy, especially as a new father, he is very approachable, and loves to talk about snowboarding.
One big change: when I met Evan he thought his career was over because his shoulders hurt when he was snowboarding. He was afraid to move his arms. We fixed that right away. What if Evan never met me? What if his shoulders blew out? Met someone smarter than me? Maybe someone from this community? Maybe you? We never know what could have happened, only what has happened.
