Okay, coaches, so what are you doing that's cool?
Serving an emerging market?  Writing a book?  Doing something interesting?

Humility doesn't make for very good copy, so we're asking you to email us about what you're up to as a coach and as a human being, and we'll do our best to include you in this section where it's all about coaches doing stuff that they are excited about.  Make it professional, make it personal, make it about you.  Coaches want to know!
Who's that at left?  That's Dave Buck, who's just plain cool.  More about Dave in a future issue.  He's living the coaching lifestyle, and then some.
