Simplicity – It’s not Complicated

Simplicity is needed in a world that we have made needlessly complicated. Look for the obvious. You will be surprised when you realize how much you can see by looking. Step back and look at the connections and links, see how they coordinate. Think of the essence of what we are trying to do as coaches – help the athlete to discover and explore movement in order to test the dimensions of their abilities. Sometimes simple is considered simplistic, it is not. Complicated coaching is real uncomplicated, uncoach the athletes, sometimes they don’t need more coaching as much as they need better awareness of themselves and the movements they are trying to accomplish. Have the courage to direct them and then let go, sometimes that is the best coaching. The body is complex enough without adding unneeded complexity. Everything is simple and complex at the same time, so don’t try to make it more complicated. Simple is not stupid, it is brilliant. Run, jump and throw! Minimal will produce the maximum.
