One more time, just in case you didn’t get it.
Apply the same standards and expectations to yourself as you expect from your athletes.

Teaching Skills – A Performance Focused Approach to Teaching Skills.
What’s the difference between learning sports skills to play sport and learning sports skills to win in competition conditions?
Playing the sport is about learning and executing the skills of the sport.
Winning in competition is about executing skills to a high level of mastery, at high speed, in fatigue conditions and under pressure and consistently making the right decision about when, where and how to execute the skill.
So, why do so many coaches insist on teaching the basic skills without progressing them from playing level to performance level? Read more

Improve your Coaching by NOT Coaching
You read right – improve your coaching by NOT coaching.
Coaching improves performance.
But too much coaching – over coaching – can have a negative influence on performance.
Who OVER coaches?
Typically five types of coaches OVER coach:
- Young, inexperienced coaches who are trying too hard;
- Coaches who lack real belief in themselves and who try to make up for it by giving too much information. These coaches will often want to be liked – and feel the more coaching they do, the more the athletes will like them;
- Coaches who lack belief in their athletes and feel the need to control every element of preparation and performance;
- Coaches who are being evaluated or assessed and aim to impress by being SEEN to control every element of the training session, i.e. they believe that great coaching is talking more;
- EGO driven coaches who see athletes / players as a vehicle to promote themselves and their reputations.
