I’m not your guidance counselor either. I’m your coach. I’m going to ask you to do things that are going to stretch you. Challenge you. Break you.

It’s OK to not like everything I ask of you. It’s OK to be fearful. It’s OK to question.

But then I want you to act. To try. To move forward.

Acknowledge the fear, pain, whatever…and move. Push. Go!

Everything I ask you to do is for your own good.

Maybe I am your Mom…
