On Leadership - David Foster Wallace / Dan Coyle (Wed 16 Apr 2014)
David Foster Wallace (*) writes On Leadership (*):
Deep down, you almost always like how a real leader (*) makes you feel, the way you find yourself working harder and pushing yourself and thinking in ways you couldn’t ever get to on your own.via 3 Simple Things Great Teachers Do (*) by Dan Coyle (*).
Two people who have believed (*) in me right from the very start when I thought there was nothing to believe in. And who pushed and challenged me to be more than I thought I could have ever been as a paddler and a person. They have given me so much and I am forever appreciative for that.

On Effort and Coaching - Dan Coyle (Fri 13 Dec 2013)
Dan Coyle (*) writes On Effort (*) and On Coaching (*):
I think the lessons for teachers and coaches are pretty simple:via The Simple Phrase that Increases Effort 40% (*) by Dan Coyle (*).
- First, connect: like John Wooden said, they can’t care (*) how much you know (*) until they know how much you care (*).
- Highlight the group: seek ways (traditions, mantras, fun little rituals) to show what it means to belong in your crew.
- Don’t soft-pedal high standards. Don’t pretend that it’s easy — do the opposite.
- Emphasize the toughness (*) of the task, and your belief (*) that they have what it takes.
I think Dan is exactly right. I have been fortunate enough to experience this time and time again in my paddling.

Change [Inspiration] by Drew Ginn (11 Jun 2010)
Change by Drew Ginn (11 Jun 2007) ..
[..] Other influences have been other athletes and crews.
Some of the major shifts in perception I have experienced have come about from observing what others do.
At a critical point two athletes stood out to me more than even the guys like the Oarsome Foursome.
Richard Wearne and Rob Walker raced the pair for Australia in 1994 and 1995.
Through their performances in those years they brought the idea and the possibility of being able to mix it at the highest level in to sharp focus.
The reason for this was that when I came into the sport the likes of the Oarsome Foursome were already established and they commanded attention.
In the season of 94 I was an U23 athlete just starting out and during out domestic season I had the chance to race against Richard and Rob in small boats.
At the time they were not together in the pair but I can still remember vividly when they became selected as the pair and went on to race at the World and win the bronze medal.
I thought, wow look at what those guys did that was amazing, and I was racing against them here in Australia.
It blew my mind to think that they were that good.
To compete in the way they did and to challenge the best in the World in the pair was something that triggered inside me a sense of possibility.
I heard many stories about how they went from selection into training and how they changed from domestic athletes into international competitors.
They weren’t big like Redgrave and co. They weren’t as laid back and considered as talented like the Oarsome Foursome.
They were races and found a harmony in the boat that enabled them to fly in the pair. They took on the challenge and performed.
It showed the way for a new generation to follow. They bridged the gap that had formed behind the four.
What’s amazing was how after they broke through so many other athletes started to believe they could do it to.
The gap had finally been crossed. [..]

The point of this is that we can be inspired and motivated by others (ignition as Dan Coyle calls it in the Talent Code). A few people have helped me Believe and have inspired me to achieve things I would never have considered possible.
I hope that others might also Believe that anything is possible if we believe and take up the challenges before us
