There's more to an athlete than their physical strengths.

The Birkman Method helps student-athletes, parents, and coaches understand how an athlete communicates, what motivates them, how they respond to pressure, and the environments where they're most likely to thrive. Those insights can lead to better recruiting conversations, stronger team relationships, and more confident decisions about life beyond high school sports.

"Todd was a huge help during my job search. My resume needed better formatting and a stronger focus on accomplishments, and he gave me clear, practical guidance on how to make it more results-oriented. He helped me think through how to better communicate my experience, impact, and value to potential employers. He also went a step further by introducing me to people in his network who could be helpful for job opportunities. I appreciated his direct advice, professional insight, and willingness to help beyond just the resume. I recommend Todd as an Atlanta Career Coach."

Great athletes aren't all coached the same.

Every athlete communicates differently, responds to feedback in their own way, and performs under pressure for different reasons. The Birkman Method helps coaches better understand what motivates their athletes, improve coach-to-player communication, strengthen team chemistry, and create an environment where every player can thrive.

What makes an athlete coachable? Talent matters, but coaches notice how athletes respond, communicate, and grow, too.

A coachable athlete knows how to:

✔️ Listen and stay open to feedback

✔️ Communicate with coaches and teammates

✔️ Apply feedback instead of just hearing it

✔️ Adapt when something isn't working

✔️ Recognize their strengths and areas for improvement

Being coachable can make you a better teammate, a stronger competitor, and an athlete coaches want to work with.

"I had the opportunity to work with Todd McCarty and Career Upside during a recent career transition, and the experience was incredibly helpful. Todd took the time to walk me back through my Birkman insights, explain what they meant in practical terms, and help me think more clearly about my strengths, work style, and professional value proposition.

What stood out most was how personalized the guidance was. Todd did not just give generic resume or job-search advice. He helped me connect my natural strengths to the kind of marketing and social media roles where I can be most effective. He also gave me practical feedback on how to improve my resume, communicate results more clearly, and prepare stronger stories for interviews.

Career transitions can be stressful, but Todd’s approach helped me feel more focused and confident. He was thoughtful, generous with his time, and genuinely interested in helping me move forward. I would highly recommend Career Upside to anyone who wants clearer career direction, stronger positioning, and practical support during a job search."

Your role isn't just to develop better players. It's to develop people.

The lessons athletes learn from a great coach go far beyond technique. Confidence, communication, accountability, resilience, and leadership can stay with them long after the season ends.

Career Upside helps coaches better understand what their athletes need so they can lead with greater intention and make an impact on and off the field.

Pressure has a way of revealing how well a team really works together.

When the stakes are high, athletes may communicate, respond to coaching, and handle stress very differently. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to keeping everyone focused and aligned.

Career Upside uses the Birkman Method to help coaches better understand individual needs, strengthen team chemistry, and build a team that can communicate and perform together when it matters most.

Before you motivate your athletes, know what motivates them.

The same approach won't work for every player. One athlete may respond to direct feedback, while another performs better with encouragement, context, or time to process.

Understanding those differences can help coaches communicate more effectively, set expectations that resonate, and build stronger relationships across the team.

Career Upside uses the Birkman Method to help coaches understand what drives their athletes and how to lead them more effectively.
