Monday 4th July, today’s sentence
Training is not a science, it is an art. There are scientific contents but it is art. The key word is balance: between authority and understanding, for example. You will never find the right place, it is a constant search, you must be excited. You’re a bit like a comedian: when you open the stage you have to make people laugh, whatever happened to you before. You create feelings, not just thoughts: this needs training, because there is also emotional intelligence. If you’re a pessimist, being a coach is next to impossible. Optimism is required. This does not mean that if we do everything well we will definitely win: there is the other team as well. It is not enough to do things well, we must do them better than others.
