Coaches who prioritize relationships with their athletes and lead from a place of shared knowledge and shared understanding simply do better. Coaches who build authentic connections with each athlete in their team, squad or group have the biggest influence on athletes’ wellbeing (happiness, joy) and performance (skill development, technical progress). Cultivating a positive sport environment for athletes, it comes down to fostering quality coach-athlete relationships. Quality coach-athlete relationships are empowering, inspirational and often transformational. This interactive coach workshop examines: approaches to coaching, the subtle differences between coach effectiveness and coaching effectiveness, the ingredients of quality coach-athlete relationships, the value of quality relationships and building relationships that help athletes and coaches thrive in sport.
