Supporting Your Athletes
When you hear the phrase “support your clients”, what thoughts come to mind?
Guidance? Listening? Cheerleading?
Often times ‘support’ can get pinned as a ‘soft-around-the-edges’ kind of term.
However, I beg to differ.
Support isn’t just about cheerleading. It is about helping somebody build a stronger belief and accountability in themselves.
As coaches, it is imperative that we recognize this.
Helping athletes define their own personal journeys is why I truly love to coach. Supporting an athlete’s journey is rewarding as the athlete develops the confidence and awareness of their own potential to go after their highest values not only in fitness and in life.
Developing your athletes’ confidence and awareness, around their own thoughts and actions, can be done through a simple detached coaching method, as follows:
Simple? Yes.
Easy? Not always.
Separate emotion from the plan, and keep a clear head in your interactions and coaching up of your athletes.
Support goes much further than cheering your athletes and clients on…be strong.
