What are the motivations of successful coaches and teachers? What drives those people that keep plugging away at the job and never seem to lose enthusiasm or energy? Neil is one of those people and has been teaching guitar since 1999 and is still loving it. He reveals his reasons for never losing his love for his chosen career.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Neil has an addictive personality and wants to turn it towards all aspects of his life and has found it is not about your achievement but the nature of your goals.   
It is not about the endpoint, it is the process that provides the drive. 
Hitting a goal can cause a depressive period due to the sudden drop in dopamine produced by the body. 
BEST MOMENTS
‘I’m sort of curious about why I still can’t wait to get in the teaching room every day to welcome my students, tune them up and start having fun.’ 
‘The sort of friction that you have to overcome stimulates the chemicals in your body that push you forward.’
‘So no endpoints for me. Milestones on the way but what I’m really looking to do is to play forever in a whole raft of endless games.’
