• More than strength, but enduring strength. Your ability to endure and still call a strength in times of less than ideal circumstances
• Its largely about listening to your self. You can defer all the decision making. You can't do that selectively when you choose a coach. Make a choice and then you can defer. What's great about that is that you chose. You made an educated choice.
