• There are no utopia jobs on this earth, .. There's nobody out there that can say, 'I've got the ideal job and there are no problems.' If your self worth is based on what other people think of you, you're in trouble. My self worth is not based on them. My self worth is based on my faith, how I treat others, what I'm doing right for this program and these kids and this coaching staff. Other than that, I understand you're not going to please everybody.

  1. Evaluation. This rates you against standards and peers. It lets you know where you stand.
  2. Coaching. This information helps you get better and learn. It is an engine for learning.
  3. Appreciation. Most desire for feedback is usually for appreciation. It motivates us.
