Dan Spainhour's Game Changing Journal

 


We wanted to let you know about Game Changing, a weekly journal from Dan Spainhour.

Each week Dan shares some of his unique perspectives on assorted topics. Along with quotes, articles and photos, Dan will even share some of the lyrics/poems he has written throughout his long and distinguished career.

In fact, readers who know Dan may see a very different side of him as he shares his reflective thinking that has benefited him throughout his life.

Evolving is a term Dan uses frequently and this Game Changing journal is a part of that evolution. We believe that as he shares his processes of expansion there are valuable lessons we can all learn.

From Dan
 
"As many of you know, I was publishing a monthly journal, writing books, and newsletters long before I “evolved” from coaching. My Leadership Publishing Team business has been my main profession since retiring from coaching."

"When I started my Game Changing newsletter, I decided to offer a more authentic take on my thoughts and research that I have developed throughout my life. I prefer to share my more intimate and personal thoughts with those who think enough of me to subscribe."

"Your monthly subscription—about the cost of a burger and I believe much better for you—allows me to provide you with material that I believe can be life/game changing."

"I’ve said many times over, “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change.” I believe that my life experience can provide valuable insights to help look at things a little differently than most of us have been taught. By paying for a subscription, you help keep the words coming."

Don't Take It Out On The Coach

The following is a recent entry to Dan Spainhour's substack, Game Changing: Changing The Way You Look at Things So The Things You Look at Will Change I can’t even remember where I first heard it, but it is something that stuck to me like glue and has been with me ever since. “Don’t take it out on the coach!” So simple yet so profound. This simple saying has been my motto for life since my early days of coaching. You see, at the end of the day you will exit this world the same way you came in it—by yourself. Therefore, it is so important to take care of yourself and not allow others to live inside your head. When I first started coaching, I wanted to control everyone and everything. Along about my third year as a head coach, one of my players was arrested for stealing a car. I was immediately placed in a no-win situation. The player was a promising college prospect. These were the days before so much emphasis was placed on summer travel teams and how a prospect performed during thei
