Omar's jumping for joy after winning photo competition
Posted: at 7:09 am
Omar Terywall, of Cambridge, wins the prizes
The News teamed up with BT to find out how you like to stay active in your local park – and what a great response we had!
Readers were asked to send in their pictures as part of the contest which helped promote the free Coaching for Life app.
The winning image was sent in by Omar Terywall, from Fen Ditton.
Omar said: “This shot of me leaping over (and scaring the heck out of) my children was taken by my friend. It was taken on the common by Abbey pool where I play football, frisbee and cricket with the kids . . . and as much as it annoys them, I enjoy power-kiting on my land board.”
The prize was a fantastic new 16GB iPhone 4S and coaching kit. Photos were judged on their artistic merit as well as how they creatively portrayed park-based activities.
Coaching for Life is a free smartphone app available from the iTunes or Android stores at http://www.bt.com/coachingforlife.
It includes 12 activities for indoor or outdoor pursuits and tips about how to improve your coaching style. BT’s Coaching for Life resources are part of Get Set, the official London 2012 education programme for schools and colleges acrossthe UK.

With retirement looming, Baber concentrates on playoffs
Posted: at 7:09 am
Deb Baber wants to postpone talking about life after coaching basketball.
The Westside girls head coach, however, knows retirement is rapidly approaching. The 58-year-old will retire after this season, which could end as early as Friday when her Seminoles travel to Westover for the first round of the GHSA Class AAA tournament.
“I’m not going to think about it being over until after (the season ends),” she said. “I’m thinking about it not being the last game.”
Regardless of whether or not that final game comes in Friday or a few weeks later in the Final Four at the Macon Coliseum or somewhere in between, Baber will leave Westside with one of the most impressive and unique coaching résumés in Middle Georgia history.
The Seminoles advanced to two Final Fours under Baber, including a run to the state championship game in 2005, when they lost to Etowah. They made the playoffs in eight of the past nine seasons and won 20 or more games six times since 2004.
“She’s a bulldog out there, a heck of a competitor,” former Westside athletics director and football head coach Robert Davis said.
“She did a great job, putting our program on the map.”
Baber’s road to glory at Westside was anything but a straight one. When she took over the basketball program when the school opened, Baber hadn’t coached basketball in 17 years. As a 44-year-old at the time, Baber felt like one of the oldest “rookies” in coaching.
“You step away from something for so long, you kind of need to relearn things,” Baber said. “I was a novice.”
Baber had success, however, as a young coach.
Following her graduation from Augusta State, Baber took over the Butler girls team in her native Augusta as a 23-year-old. The Bulldogs won three games the year before she took over, but they were in the Final Four in the second year, losing to South Gwinnett on a last-second basket. She spent three years at Butler, one at a school in Minnesota and one at Evans.
Baber wanted to start work on a doctorate degree at Georgia, so she left basketball coaching at 28. After earning the degree in adult fitness, Baber moved on to Valdosta State, where she coached softball, and then Kennesaw State before landing a job in the wellness program with the Bibb County board of education. She went to Fort Valley State for two years before Westside opened and needed a girls basketball coach.
“I was content with the path I took,” Baber said. “It was a very rewarding path. But I would go to games at the Coliseum, and I just started salivating. I wanted to get back into it.”
Baber was a marathon runner, competing multiple times in the Boston Marathon and Peachtree Road Race, so she wouldn’t shy away from the hard work needed to start a program. She pulled out her notes from her years at Butler. She attended coaching clinics, watched videos and read coaching books to brush up on anything she lost or forgot from the long coaching layoff.
Baber and Westside didn’t have it easy from the start, getting thrown into competition with established programs such as Baldwin, Northeast, Southwest and Warner Robins.
“We had an uphill battle, and I was very nervous at the start,” Baber said. “We were just praying for a win somewhere along the way.”
The Seminoles went 5-18 the first year, but Baber cited players such as Kristy McCorkle, who now helps coach alongside Baber, and Joy Jones for putting in the hard work that set the Seminoles in the right direction. They won 15 games the second year and 18 a year later.
“From that point on, we were pretty successful,” Baber said. “There was something about the first group. They came in and were ready to work. They really made it happen. They set the bar high.”
Players such as Ashley Duhart, L’Teisha Holloway, Jelisa Caldwell and Brittany Ferguson helped take the program to another level and then made sure it maintained an elite status, Baber said.
Baber, who is 341-169 in her career, said she just now feels like it’s the right time to step away. She believes the program is in good shape now, with a good group of sophomores returning to hand it off to someone else. Baber thinks current assistant Candice Roberson should get the job.
“I think she would do a great job,” Baber said. “She’s young, has a lot of energy. She should do fine. I feel good about where we are as a program. I just hope I have a few more weeks of coaching left.”

Three keys to success for entrepreneurs

Guest Column elizabeth saunders Special to Globe and Mail Update Published Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2012 6:00AM EST
I’m not responsible for everything
I started out in business with an eagerness to please my clients — no matter what — and I put more stress on myself than I needed to.
Sometimes I’d work on a project that required someone else to give me information before I could move forward. They didn’t always feel the same sense of responsibility to meet deadlines, which means they gave me what I needed to complete the project at the last minute, and then I had to work really late to get everything finished on time.
More related to this story
Over the years, I learned to set boundaries and I realized that I’m not responsible for people outside my organization who are running behind. Instead of stressing out and trying to pick up the slack, I give clients regular progress reports and I warn them when someone has not lived up to an agreement to deliver on time. I’ve found that, in general, clients are very understanding and this strategy reduces the burden tremendously.
Packaging leads to success — or failure
One of my biggest joys as an entrepreneur is having a ton of flexibility in my life and variety in my work. When I began my business, I actually preferred contract work that didn’t tie me down on a long-term basis. I saw it as giving me more freedom.
But after almost six years of full-time entrepreneurship, I’ve found that offering “retainer” contracts, where my company is paid on a monthly basis, and larger three- to six-month programs is a huge key to success. When you have larger contracts, you even out your cash flow, reduce your sales and marketing time and build a long-term, value-packed relationship with your clients.
Sales is fun. Really
I’ve always enjoyed marketing: strong networking and communications skills have come naturally to me from the time I started toddling around. But I used to detest the thought of sales. I thought it was enough to tell people what I did and they would hire me if they needed me.
Once I got into the coaching business, where I help people who have struggled with time management for years, I realized that marketing was not enough. I needed to know how to sell to get chronic procrastinators into a coaching program that would transform their lives. I invested in sales training so I could learn the art and science of sales, and I found I loved it. Selling done well provides the right people with the right solutions to overcome their challenges.
