What is it like being a coach?
The truth? Emotional, draining, sacrifices, time, tough and so much more.
Coaches are expected to delivering high-energy sessions with the constant drive to develop an educational environment for them to learn, as well as making sure that plan proves own methods work.
But is that the only reason?
Are we just method testers?
Are we just a person that athletes turn up and fist pump?
I’ve being around coaching a long time and I’ve seen coaches apply methods, drills or sessions mindlessly hoping for a result, but is that coaching?
I’ll be honest no one cares how clever you are as a coach, those in front of you care about how you connect with them. Do you connect in a way that makes them feel proud, safe, strong, and confident. Coaching is about direction and how you direct them to realise that they can be so much more in all forms of life.
SPT has a philosophy, a style, a DNA, but we also have that human connection. They not just an athlete, they are someone finding their purpose and we want to guide them.
Find a coach that sees you beyond their own ego and success, if you have that coach you are lucky! Good coaches will get better because they know what it takes to evolve and develop themselves, as they go our to develop you.
Coaches have coaches and I have being lucky enough to connect with many coaches like Will Collins, who has transformed the way I not only apply methods, but how I coach those methods but most importantly apply them to the individuals by understanding the individual through who they are.
