COACHING
Trust is key to coaching. The coach and athlete’s relationship must have some level of trust for coaching to work. Trust can begin to develop through open, honest feedback and respect. Taking athlete’s from compliance to commitment can be difficult. Finding or creating that factor means sometimes helping the athlete’s get in touch with what matters to him/her – what are his/her internal goals. Sometimes this is best achieved through the use of open-ended questions leading to the athlete’s self discovery.
