If everything was perfect for someone then do they ever truly value when they are successful? Winning is not easy. Getting that promotion is not easy. Getting that job is not easy. So when you have those things you need to appreciate the hard work, mental toughness and value that you get from success.
I was a head coach for 9 years in Kentucky. Decided to step way from being a head coach and make a major move in my life to relocate to NC where I did NOT know a single soul. The plan was to be away from being a head coach for 1 or 2 years. Ended up being 9 years for various reasons with one being a challenge created by other people. Now that I am back in the big seat I am having the time of my life. It has been so much fun and I think that has infected my guys because we are having fun out there. I can appreciate being a head coach so much more now than i did before.
