To have the kind of year you want to have, something has to happen that you can’t explain why it happened. Something has to happen that you can’t coach.
Meaning of the quote
To have a great year, something unexpected and unexplainable will happen. It's something that you can't control or teach others to do. This means that even if you work hard and try your best, sometimes good things will happen that you can't plan or prepare for. You have to be open to the unexpected and let it guide you to success.
