Coaching Quote of the Day 9th April 2013
“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg.
We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.”
(C. S. Lewis, writer)

Many thanks to everyone who shared the quotes above and the other quotes from last week. I know that there are various aspects that can influence if a quote attracts your attention – if you saw the tweet, personal style, if it speaks to something happening in your life at that moment etc.
(For those of you as geeky as I am and wondering what tool I’m using to measure individual RT’s this week I’ve been playing with www.twitonomy.com)

Recapping the Facebook Monday Invite (from 1st April 2013)
Each Monday on this blogs Facebook page I issue the following question and invitation:
“Have you written/seen a blog post in the past week that you’d think is of interest to coaches and that you’d like to share?”
At the end of each week I will be posting a recap of a selection of the links shared that Monday on our Facebook page.
As normal this week coaches from different parts of the world, with different areas of expertise and specialisms, took the time to share.
Posts shared on Monday 1st April 2013:
Being the Easter weekend and Monday a public holiday in several countries there were noticeably less posts here than normal but there still some that were generously shared.
- “Questions to ask yourself for a life without regrets (aka free therapy)” A post by Emma Gilding
- “Accountability In Action” A post by soccer coach Gary Curneen
These are a few posts that also attracted my attention..
Bonus posts:
- “3 Blocks That Can Hold You Back” by Cindy Hillsey
- “I Give You Permission” A post by Steve Errey
- “Six Words that Changed My Life” by Michael Neill
Want your post included next week?
If you have a post that you think will be of interest to coaches do take part in tomorrow’s Monday invite and leave the details on our Facebook page.
Whilst it’s lovely for posts to be sent to me via twitter, the nature of a tweet means that it can easily be overlooked when this post is being compiled at a later time. Please leave links in one place, ie our Facebook page so they can be easily shared.
