Ashton Is No Longer Afraid

Ashton Kutcher has been coaching the Harvard-Westlake School’s football team and recently updated his myspace blog. He talks about how he feels like he’s the one learning here, and that this opportunity has allowed him to conquer fears he had. He says:

A lot of people have asked me why I decided to start coaching. I’ve thought about it a lot because at first I would say “it’s just something I’ve always wanted to do” but to be honest there are a lot of things I’ve always wanted to do. So as I dig deeper I’ve actually found that the truth is that it’s something I’ve always been afraid to do. I was afraid of the time commitment. I was afraid that I would look stupid. I was afraid that the players wouldn’t listen to my football advice, I was afraid that the advice that I gave wouldn’t be very good. I’ve have many situations in my life where I’ve had an opportunity to extend my self and walked away for many of those reasons. And though coaching a football team is no great step for man kind I finding that it’s a great step for me and that I’m not there to teach them they are there to teach me.

It’s amazing how much he’s matured in the past few years. I still watch reruns of That 70’s Show and its funny to think that Michael Kelso grew up to be such a well-rounded father figure. Kudos to Kutcher!
