Alan Fine (born June 12, 1953) is an author, executive coach, consultant and speaker. Fine began his career as a tennis coach in the United Kingdom. In the late 1970’s he worked with Graham Alexander and Sir John Whitmore using Timothy Gallwey’s Inner Game as part of their coaching process. An outcome of their work was the development of the performance model G.R.O.W. (Goal, Reality, Options, Way Forward/Will).

Fine has coached athletes in Europe and the United States. They include Davis Cup tennis team member Buster Mottram, PGA member Stephen Ames, CBS golf commentator and Ryder Cup participant David Feherty, and European PGA golfers Colin Montgomery, Phillip Price, Paul Lawrie, Bradley Dredge and David Llewellyn. He has also worked with Professional Squash player Phil Kenyon, the British Olympic Fencing team and the Welsh Amateur Golf Team.

In 1985 Alan Fine founded InsideOut Development, a professional training and organizational consulting firm. He consults with individuals and organizations to increase performance, as well as providing executive coaching and leadership training.

Alan Fine is the author of Play to Win Golf (w/ David Feherty) and InsideOut Golf: How to Achieve Peak Performance as well as a contributing author to Coaching for Leadership by the Drucker Foundation. He is the author of the book InsideOut: Discovering and Doing What’s Possible. Fine has also contributed articles to GolfWorld and Golf International.

Basic ideas

Several principles common through Fine’s writings:

• Performance increase comes from the Inside Out

• Performance = Capacity – Interference

• Keys to performance – Faith (what people believe), Fire (what people have passion about) and Focus (what people pay attention to)

• Use of the GROW model (Goal, Reality, Options, Way Forward)

• Change comes when a person is performance driven, not coach driven (dependent)

Short review of a deleted page

Hey there, I saw you participated in Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Jamesontai 2, so I concluded you are online at the moment. I !voted neutral just before you, citing a deleted page (Creating new wikipedia article) that the candidate tagged CSD#A7. He replied that the page might have been updated after his tagging, so I'd like to ask if you could provide me a copy of the specific revision which he tagged as {{db-a7}}. Regards SoWhy 10:30, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

He tagged the article as {{db-bio}}, two minutes after it was created. It was not edited any further and was deleted after a further 26 minutes. The article was about a motivational speaker and I would not have deleted or tagged it as A7 myself. Hope this helps. Stifle (talk) 10:32, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Neither would I. I cited this as a reason for poor judgement with CSD (on his side as well as on the deleting admin's side). He just said it could have been edited after tagging and I wanted to make sure that the deleted version was the same as the tagged one, so my !vote was not reasoned incorrectly. Thank you very much for your help! :-) SoWhy 10:37, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you for supporting me in my RfA, which passed with a count of (166/43/7). I appreciate your comments and in my actions as an administrator I will endeavor to maintain the trust you have placed in me. I am honored by your trust and your support. Thank you, Cirt (talk) 01:55, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Korelko

I put Korelko up on the translation board instead, if it's still a advert we can just speedy it later. Whispering 09:19, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

From what I could gather from the links, it looked very spammy, but your reasoning is correct. Good idea to post it there. I left a note there, so that whoever works on it knows why I tagged it for speedy and can re-tag it if they conclude it's correct (without having to translate it first). Regards SoWhy 09:28, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

thanks for the shiny!

Wow, thanks! I guess I don't really feel like anything has changed after my RfA. The only difference is that now I use block, protect, and delete rather than AIV, RFPP, and CSD. Cheers! J.delanoy^gabs_adds 17:51, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello Comrade

Thanks for adopting me, lets be friends, by the way i saw you were a socialist that is pretty funny. :)No Hollaback Girl (talk) 10:38, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I gathered as much from the heading you chose, although I do not see what is funny about that. I guess you are underage, so I advise you really try and hide your true age by acting more mature around here. People will not take you seriously if you act like a child, no matter if you really are one. Also, some people will definitely take it personally if you call their political, social or religious conviction "funny", which they will gather as not very WP:CIVIL. You should take care to avoid such things with other people here.

But I will see past this for now and be glad to adopt you, trying to show you how to behave and work here. Your first task is to replace the {{adoptoffer|SoWhy}} on your user page with {{adoptee|SoWhy}}. Come back here, if you have any questions about the project and working here. Regards SoWhy 10:45, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I hope i didn't offend you with that counter revolutionary comment i was only joking, by the way i am a kid i hope that is okay with you. My question is how can i stop those bourgeois vandals you use a thing called huggle can i get that.No Hollaback Girl (talk) 11:22, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

First off, you do not need to create a new section for every comment, just edit the current one and add the new comment below it (preferably indented with one or multiple ":", depending on how many the person before you used). Second, I am not offended, I just wanted to point out that others might be. Try to heed WP:CIVIL and be extra nice.

Third, I know I was correct regarding your age. You should hide it better though, as I said above, to avoid that it becomes a factor in discussions. It will do so if you show it readily.

Then, for your question: Huggle is a tool for Windows that can be found at WP:HG. You should not use it though until you have made yourself familiar with our policies regarding what constitutes as vandalism (see WP:VAN). It also needs a special flag called rollback which has to be requested independently. You have no edit history to speak of and thus you will certainly fail when trying to request it. You should try and revert vandalism without it for now, using the undo-feature (see the link). You can most likely find such vandalism when looking at Special:Recentchanges.
