Promoting the Sport
"Your words matter"

It's a known fact that our sport is dwindling. Every year our entry numbers into our events get smaller and smaller.
I try to encourage folks from the very beginning. As an example ; If you're out in a public area training and someone is intrigued in what you're doing. They just got done playing with their dog. They walk up with their retriever in tow and they are carrying a chuck it handle and a bunch of tennis balls. How would you greet this person?
Or would you even put forth the effort?
If your answer isn't a friendly response, that's the problem right there. Your initial response is what people remember most about people that play this sport. You passed judgement on them before they could even learn the process.
I would encourage and then let them decide how far they want to go.
As a lot of you know my training groups are large. The reason is because I help them and I encourage them to keep achieving the next level. I don't care where they are in the process. It was just recently said to me by a friend of mine that it takes a village to get where he was today. That's so true. He got encouragement from many different directions along the way.
Your words really matter.
Some have forgotten what it’s like to have even small successes.
So performance driven that they've lost empathy for others.
They've let Ego get in the way of being helpful to those that are considered beneath their training level.
I may not be the best fit or the best trainer for someone. And I'm ok with that, but at least I put forth the effort to get them started for them to move on.

Remember to enjoy the journey and to pay it back to others along the way. That’s more important to the sport than ribbons or trophies.
