Monday Musings: I Don’t Do Motivation. I Do Ignition.

Coaches are often expected to be motivators. To cheer. To push. To energize. But motivation is fleeting. It rises and falls with mood, weather, sleep, and circumstance.

Ignition is different.

Ignition is the spark. It is the moment something catches. It is the shift from passive hope to active fire.

As coaches, we are not here to hand out fuel. We are here to strike flint.

We ask the hard questions. We hold the silence. We name the truth. We light the match.

Motivation says, “You can do it.” Ignition asks, “Do you want to?” And then waits for the answer.

Ignition is not louder than motivation. It is quieter. More personal. More permanent.

It does not fade when the crowd leaves. It burns when no one is watching.

So this Monday, to every coach in the Valley and beyond: You are not a motivator. You are an igniter.

Keep striking. Keep sparking. Keep lighting the way.
