I’ve
spent my whole life watching professional sports contests, often with few
winning seasons for the teams and players that I root for. But what I have noted throughout all of those
thousands of games, from baseball and football, to basketball and tennis,
almost all of the great teams and athletes had one thing going for them: Superior coaching.
Authors
take note. Everyone could benefit from a
coach.
Of
course, our society has a coach for everything.
Need to lose weight? Hire a trainer.
Need a psychological boost? Try a
therapist. Need help decorating your house or someone to help you put a party
together – or to date right, cook better, or be a better shopper? There is a consultant for everything.
Certainly
when it comes to book publishing, lots of helpers are available, either to do
something for you such as edit or promote a book, or to coach you. We have:
Media
Coaches – prep you for media interviews.
Writing
Coaches – help you write through your blockages or issues.
Book
Shepherds – can assist in taking a concept and turning it, into a book.
Each
of them can not only teach you something, introduce you to key people, or
expose you to new ideas – they can be great sounding boards and true motivators.
They can bring out your greatness.
In
sports, coaches will:
·
Push
athletes and teams, through practice, to be better.
·
Mentally
empower players
·
Implement
strategy
·
Execute
a plan
·
Deal
with the details that can weigh players down.
As
such, a book, industry coach can:
·
Push
you to write and promote better.
·
Psychologically
nourish and empower you.
·
Implement
a game plan and strategy.
·
Execute
a plan to achieve publicity, sales, and success.
·
Deal
with the details that distract or impede authors.
It
may seem ridiculous that a professional athlete, one that may already be an
all-star, a champion, and a multi-millionaire, needs a coach, but everyone
could be better, even in the slightest way, from having an impartial expert work
side by side with them. It’s an
advantage or edge that could mean the difference in how far one goes in their
career.
Just
as in sports, not all coaches are equal.
Some are downright awful. You may
need to get a coach that helps you pick a coach! But in all seriousness, team
up with someone-who can make you better – with advice, words of encouragement,
and insights into the things you love but could always be better at.
