A Simple Tool for Reflection and Growth

Let’s talk about something that’s close to my heart: journaling. A little while ago, I created something that I’m pretty excited about but haven’t really shared much. It’s a simple, no-frills coach’s journal—and if you’re someone who loves to write or you’re looking for the perfect gift for the coaches in your life, this might be just the thing.

The journal doesn’t come with prompts, guided questions, or anything fancy. It’s just a blank slate for your thoughts, ideas, and reflections. Its just a journal. The word "Coach" is proudly stamped on the front, with a few fun little details to make it unique. It’s available in a variety of colors, so you can pick one that matches your vibe (or your gym’s aesthetic).

What will make this journal special is what you put into it. Why journal? Journaling is more than just writing down your thoughts; it’s a way to grow. It allows us to reflect on our coaching practices, notice patterns in our behavior, and celebrate small wins that we might otherwise overlook. By putting pen to paper, we create a moment of pause to process what went well in a session and what could be improved. Over time, these reflections help us refine our approach, become more intentional, and ultimately grow into better coaches and leaders.

One pro tip: while the journal doesn’t come with a built-in pen holder, I’ve added a little stick-on pen holder to mine. It’s a small addition that makes a huge difference. You can grab these pen holders on Amazon for about five bucks, and it’ll keep your pen handy so you’re always ready to jot something down.

So, whether you’re a journaling enthusiast, looking to treat yourself, or searching for a meaningful gift for your coaching crew, check out the coach’s journal. It’s the perfect size, simple yet impactful, and designed with coaches in mind.

As always, stay virtuous and keep doing what you do best: helping others crush their goals. And if you decide to grab a journal, thank you for your support. If not, no worries—I’m just glad you’re here! Cheers to reflection, growth, and keeping a pen handy.
Stay Virtuous
