The thrust of it was that I&#8217;d personally rather be in a good situation than having great players in a bad situation. I asked readers to think about their own perspective on that question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, some years later, Patrick Daniels saw the post and decided to share his thoughts in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pgd3556\/posts\/pfbid02ZBc6WKvueWcSiALLLPNkWhGd5JDk39VVssCD45abTJop73e54WN13JVgwBvmHhYMl\">a post of his own<\/a>. The line, &#8220;I firmly believe that prioritizing the creation of a great situation is the superior approach,&#8221; captures his thoughts. While there is overlap with my own post, Patrick goes further. In particular, he specifically talks about how to create a good situation. It&#8217;s an interesting exploration of the subject. Definitely worth a quick read. It ties in with what I wrote about in <a href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/what-drives-coaching-success\/\">What drives coaching success?<\/a> and the posts linked from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s definitely a control factor, however. Certain situations allow a coach more potential to influence things around them. Others do not. Coaching at the professional level tends to be the latter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The situation you coach in is quite important to your happiness.
