RD SPORTS CLUBS
Are you currently coaching at a sports or athletics club? We can support your mental performance challenges and help your club reach its potential.
Mindset Development for your Coaches
Mindset coaching is often something people turn to when things are going wrong. However, developing a resilient mindset before the problems arise, makes you and your coaches far more equipped to deal with the challenges that come your way.
Having a mindset development plan in place means your coaches have the best chance of heading this off before it ever becomes a problem.
We can work with you to create a bespoke mindset development plan for your coaches to make them more resilient, boost confidence and improve their relationships with your athletes and their parents.
How can Mindset Development help your coaches?
Identity
It can sometimes be difficult for coaches to cultivate their own identity and many will feel that they are defined by the success or failure of their athletes. It’s important for coaches to create their own identity, have their own purpose, their own definition of success.
Goals
Many coaches will treat the goals of their athletes as their own goals too. It’s extremely important that coaches have their own goals that are independent of the outcomes of their athletes. This avoids inadvertently adding pressure to an athlete but also allows the coach to focus on what it is that makes them a great coach.
Relationships
Relationships are difficult at the best of times but when you add competition into the mix, it’s a whole new ball game. You have to deal with the emotions of the athletes, your own emotions, as well as those of passionate parents. It’s no surprise that this can get extremely stressful.
Delivering news to parents that they don’t want to hear adds another dimension to this. If not handled appropriately it could risk the relationship between the club and parent, the coach and parent or even the athlete and coach.
After developing strong, long-standing relationships with athletes, coaches can find it difficult when those relationships come to an end. This could be for several reasons, including, injury, changing coach, changing sport or changing club.
Confidence
Everyone suffers from a lack of self-belief or confidence from time to time. Everyone has those moments of self-doubt, especially as a young coach or when you are pushing the boundaries of your knowledge.
Mindset Development for your Athletes
Young athletes are possibly under more pressure to perform than ever before. This pressure could come from club coaches, parents, competitors, or simply from the athlete being too hard on themselves. It doesn’t mean that you have bad coaches or that your athletes have bad parents. More often than not, there is no intention on the part of a coach or parent to inflict this pressure.
What we need to understand is that we all interpret things differently and our young athletes need support to process their thoughts and emotions appropriately.
We can help your young athletes to develop their mindset to help them navigate relationships positively, enable them to process failure and success constructively and set goals with the best possible chance of success.
Mindset Development for your Athlete’s Parents
I don’t know many clubs that take an active interest in the wellbeing of their athlete’s parents. Being the parent of a high performing athlete can be very stressful and many parents don’t have the mindset support they need to make sure they aren’t inadvertently having a negative impact on the performance of their child.
