Reflection - Getting on Stage
Here is something I saw shared on FB recently and it got me thinking .. Real Talk Coaching Tidbits~ In my line of work, I can totally appreciate the intention behind the statement that I hear waaaay too often: "well, I want to prep like I am doing a show, without actually doing a show". (thoughtful pause, while I bring my hands together, finger tip to finger tip, right in front of my mouth - no, actually TOUCHING my mouth - to prevent me from saying what is about to pop out of it, and to partially conceal the look that must have crossed my face before I was able to catch it....) Sooooo, let me get this straight. What you are saying is that despite MANY MANY competitors (and wanna be competitors) being largely unable to complete "show prep", even when they DO have a show looming on the horizon..... many of which have paid hundreds/thousands out of pocket in coaches fees, posing suits, shoes, jewelry, federation registration, and even show registration... man
