Here’s a quotation from the book, The Education of a Coach by David Halberstam:
It was not a profession that offered a lot in the way of tranquillity. “My wife has a question she asked me every year for ten years,” Bill Parcells said back in 1993 when he was still married, “and she always worded it the same way: ‘Explain to me why you must continue to do this. Because the times when you are happy are so few.’ She has no concept.”

It’s clear for some football coaches like Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick, coaching is their calling. Does that mean you have to be happy all the time?
