Once again Range delivers, very encouraging read this morning. I’m on my third career (after 15 years in coaching), and the challenge of choosing to explore is often daunting, but can be hugely rewarding. It has been for me, both in my past career and now as I explore a different path. Looking forward to hot streak though, that’s exciting.

Congrats Brendon! And I think your "often daunting" is either diplomatic, or you're just stoic, as I've found it daunting every time! But also invigorating. ...To use an old analogy, whether I'm switching careers, jobs, or merely big projects, it always makes me feel like an old school dj who is doing a crossfade and in the moment caught between the two turntables...not quite sure where I am yet. I'm head for this in a few months when I finish a book draft, so you're a little ahead of me. Would love to hear what kind of coaching you were doing, and best wishes for generative and only moderately daunting exploration.
Thanks David, probably more diplomatic of me, necessity can be a strong driver. This post struck a cord and while I was reflecting on it I was reminded of Steve Magness’s book ‘Do hard things’, doing something that’s challenging does really drive the learning process and I had been remiss of coasting a little. So I’ve jumped off the deep end again and bought some specialist books on software architecture to level up my knowledge gap and get the thinking processes going again.
I coached sprint kayaking for the British team from junior to Olympic level and found yours, Steve’s and Malcolm Gladwell’s books all very insightful in helping me to think through developing athletes given how varied they are.
