Thoughts. A typical workday
includes: morning session, gym, social media/marketing/planning, Training,
night session.
I started to realize that at each session I would be
thinking about the next session or how the previous one went. I am at training
thinking about new drills and how to make certain situations with in the game
simple for my players. Sometimes I come
up with new ideas and sessions at the strangest times. I have created so much, especially this
year. Sometimes I don’t know where it
comes from but it is so much fun to create and learn. My mind is constantly going. I am seeing the game in a very different way
now and the development in all of my players and teams have been so much fun to
see. Every single thing we do in
practice has been translated to games.
The only problem is I am looking forward too much. I am constantly evaluating my past and
looking how to create a future. That is
good and there is a time to learn from the past and then leave it. There is
also time to look to the future and dream and hope but what I am forgetting is
the now, the present…
I am now playing for Djurgården IF. It is extremely professional. The morale within
the team is incredible. All my
teammates are very talented and each brings special qualities that make us
strong! During a recent team meeting my coach said something that hit me. He said “Här och Nu” “Here and now” The past
is in the past and the future has not arrived.
The only thing that really matters is here and now. I have heard words
like this before but it was just the kick I needed. I am thinking too much of what I have to do,
of what has happened, of what has not yet come. I have not given 100% of myself
every time. My mind could be 70% on the field, 10% on my upcoming coaching tasks, and 30% on
family or friends. Since the talk I had
training and every time a thought came into my head that has nothing to do with
the present I threw it out. “Här och Nu” Even with friends or family I am so
lucky to have them all in my life and when I am with them they deserve my all “Här och Nu” So whether at the moment, I am coaching, playing or with my
friends or family they will get my all both here and now!
