What's Your Choice?
In a few of the classes that I coach, I start out with a question. It's a simple question that might not get much thought at first. The interesting thing about the question is that when the people attending really respond to the question, the class direction is set. And the direction is always the most beneficial one for all who attend.
The question is also straightforward. It has to do with how each person chooses to attend the class. I preface the question with some options. The choice the attendees must make is to select one of the options when they answer the question. The options I put forth are threefold. The choices progressively show how each attendee shall commit himself or herself to the class.
The first of the three options is the simplest. It requires the most minimal commitment. In coaching terms, it merely requires the person to sit in the grandstand and observe. Hence the first option is to be an observer. The "observer" choice allows for an occasional cheer or two by the attendee directed toward the people who are on the playing field. A few notes may be taken regarding what's going on in the game. But the person choosing to observe truly is investing the minimal amount possible for the commitment they are making. They are not in the game, only watching it from afar.
The second choice requires a bit more...
