Rugby League legend Wayne Bennett celebrated his 900th coaching game
Rugby League legend Wayne Bennett celebrated his 900th coaching game last night, yet he recently said, "I'm still not sure if I want to be a coach."
Surprised? I was.
Gosh, I loved reading that even someone as accomplished as Wayne Bennett admits to not being entirely sure about his career choice.
Here's the full quote:
“I never thought about being a coach; it's not something that I wanted to do, and I'm still not sure if I want to be a coach".
"I never had a plan about my coaching life or my coaching career and just found myself doing it – and that's what I'm still doing today.”
We often encounter countless articles, webinars, and workshops dedicated to FINDING YOUR PASSION and pursuing it relentlessly.
However, Bennett's story offers a refreshing perspective – one that highlights the importance of adaptability, rather than fixating on clarity and a rigid five-year plan.
I think the key is to keep an eye out for intriguing next opportunities, and strive to work with people you genuinely enjoy collaborating with... As you progress, you'll accumulate valuable insights, experiences, and wisdom to inform your next decision.
