Coaching in Sports

If you’ve come to this page, you may be wondering what we can do for real coaches. 

Consider this—if you’ve been in the competitive sports world, you know the difference between winning and losing a game can be in the team’s ability to keep their heads about them when things go wrong. You’ve probably experienced the resilience of a team when the quarterback, pitcher or center – your key player – provides positive energy to “right the ship” when the game goes off course. That’s where we play.  We help create team leaders who can recover emotionally and lead through adversity.

We work on the people side of your team while you work on the talent and execution side.  We offer three areas of help:

• Coaching the coach – to help you become an emotionally intelligent leader, teacher, administrator, coach. 
• Coaching the coaching staff – to teach your staff new ways to relate to students, athletes (and others) to motivate and create accountability.
• Coaching key athletes – to help them know where they get stuck and learn to recover from emotional hijacks and  get “unstuck.” We also teach how to use emotions intelligently, develop as team leaders and model self-control and accountability for the team.

Consider the complexity of your world. As a sports coach, you are responsible for your athletes – teaching them skills, fine tuning their natural talents, and helping them mature as players and team leaders. You are also responsible for working with other coaches, perhaps an academic institution, donors and sport governing bodies. Having been a great athlete and knowing the game may not be enough to assure success as a coach in today’s world. 

When you bring us onto your team, we help you implement a game-changing new approach for self-management and emotional recovery in all elements of your sport.  You teach them the game. We teach you to help them become resilient.  Sound like a game plan? Give us a call!
