Advertise on podcast: Great Quotes for Coaches Podcast

With this being National Poetry Month, I have been reading and talking about poems that I find particularly powerful, inspirational, and meaningful. Today, I have a great one for those of you who coach, but it is also powerful for anyone.  As always, I am so grateful to all of you who support the podcast! I do this show because of you. While I enjoy the quotes myself, I do this podcast because many of you who are looking for inspiration and impact from these quotes come back and listen to it on a consistent basis.

"In wildness is the preservation of the world." That quote by Henry David Thoreau is a glimpse into what you will hear on today's episode. We take a departure from the poems we have been doing for National Poetry Month to honor Earth Day today. The first Earth Day was on April 22, 1970. It started out as an event held here in the USA, but it has grown to be celebrated and honored in over 190 countries, with over 1 billion people observing and celebrating it today! And with the negative ways we are still affecting our planet, we need a day (or a week, a month, or a year!) to celebrate, honor, and dedicate ourselves to do all we can to save our planet and preserve it for the generations who follow us. Today, you will hear 9 quotes about nature that I believe are quite fitting for an observation of Earth Day. While I hope you enjoy the quotes (like I always do), more importantly, I hope they encourage you to do, or continue to do, your part to help preserve the world for the future. Small actions by millions and billions of people can have incredibly powerful effects, so let's make sure we are all pitching in and helping in some small (or big!) ways to make the earth a better, healthier place for all. As always, I am grateful to all of you who support the podcast! I do this show because of you. While I enjoy the quotes myself, I do this podcast because many of you who are looking for inspiration and impact from these quotes come back and listen to it on a consistent basis.

"While fighting for his country, he lost an arm and was suddenly afraid:" This line opens the poem, "A Man" by Nina Cassian. The rest of the poem is the man's initial reaction to his loss and then the amazing transformation that he underwent because of it. I have always found it to be an inspirational and impactful poem about the potential that we have for overcoming the impossible if we just attack our lives with extraordinary enthusiasm and effort.  With this being National Poetry Month, I am reading and talking about poems that I find particularly powerful, inspirational, and meaningful, so today I am talking about this poem. Check out last week's episodes on the poems "The Road Not Taken," "If," and "To an Athlete Dying Young," as well. As always, I am so grateful to all of you who support the podcast!

"Smart lad, to slip betimes away/From fields where glory does not stay..." This line indicates one of the key themes in the poem "To an Athlete Dying Young" by A.E. Housman. With this being National Poetry Month, I am reading and talking about poems that I find particularly powerful, inspirational, and meaningful, so today I am talking about this poem. Monday, I started with "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost, and Wednesday, I talked about "If" by Rudyard Kipling. I said that you've probably heard both of those poems before, and you may have read them in your English/Language Arts class when you were in school. While not as popular as the other two, I imagine "To an Athlete Dying Young" may be another poem you read in school, too. As always, I am so grateful to all of you who support the podcast!

"If you can keep your head when all about you/Are losing theirs and blaming it on you..." These lines begin the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling. The entire poem is a series of "if" lines and concepts, all talking about the many trials and tribulations we will be faced with as we go through life, and culminating in two lines to show what is waiting for us if we handle all of the "ifs" in the right way. There are so many great quotable lines and lessons for leaders and teammates throughout this poem, many of which you may have used with your teams before. With this being National Poetry Month, I am reading and talking about poems that I find particularly powerful, inspirational, and meaningful. Monday, I started with my favorite poet, Robert Frost, and what is probably his most famous poem, "The Road Not Taken." I said that you have probably heard it before, and you may have read it in your English/Language Arts class when you were in school. I imagine "If" falls into that category, too.

"Two roads diverged in a wood..." We move to a new theme today, one that is based on this being National Poetry Month. I am going to read and talk about poems that I find particularly powerful, inspirational, and meaningful. I will do this for this week and probably for the rest of the month. I start with my favorite poet, Robert Frost, and what is probably his most famous poem, "The Road Not Taken." It is so good with so many great ideas in it.

As you heard last week on April 1st, the focus was on quotes about April Fool's Day. Then on Friday, I decided I would do some more quotes about fools. However, I got so into talking about the first quote that I only did that one quote in Friday's episode. Therefore, I decided to do the rest of the quotes I have on fools this week. Today, we finish up this little series with three more quotes about fools and foolishness from three heavy hitters.  As always, I am so grateful to all of you who support the podcast!
