Diary of a creator of his own destiny

Never ask a coach what you should do, ask him what he would do if he were in your place

Fosbury Flop emerged to empower coaches to create their own methodologies. No recipes are provided because what works in one context may be harmful in another. I don’t believe on simple, prescriptive formulas for success. Fosbury Flop aims to promote critical thinking and autonomy. This way, each one can create the best methodologies in any context they find themselves in.

George is an authentic padel coach that fortune made us match. He believes that, in addition to being honorable, one has to be honest: That’s why he has decided to preach by example and send me some excerpts of his coaching journal. Reading them, I automatically asked him to share some of them with you. Diary of a creator of his own destiny is his Skin in the game: being venerable to the consequences of his actions and what he says. George puts on paper how does he face the day-to-day situations in his context: a workplace that is in a different paradigm than his. He shares what he does in his place in case it helps you to improve your practices in yours. George won’t tell you what to do. He speaks for himself and from his experience. You will not leave here with any recipe or methodology nor does he intend it to be a guide.

Diary of a creator of his own destiny is a piece focused on what you can feel but not quantify. One cannot use statistics without logic —says Nassim N. Taleb— but, it is not a mistake to use logic without statistics. In the same vein, Ernest Rutherford said that if your experiment needs statistics, you should have done a better experiment. So that. George has written, straight from the gut and heart, what he has felt. It is not a scientific piece, rather a personal essay.

The training lens

The only ones

The game has it all

We play slow because we are going far

Not too high, not too low

Train smart, not hard

Loyal to our essence

In spite of me or because of me?
