183 Sports Coaching: How Being Compassionate Can Help Your Athletes Perform Better

183 Sports Coaching: How Being Compassionate Can Help Your Athletes Perform Better

Supportive coaching is shown to be effective in having a positive influence on an athlete's development, particularly when athletes are unsure of themselves, are less confident and lack mental toughness.

Feel free to check out today's solo episode where I discuss compassion, mental toughness and high performance to help with the development of sports coaches and to improve the experience for athletes.

Key Learning Points

  • High performing teams such as The Lionesses recognise showing compassion is hugely beneficial to individuals and the team as a whole.
  • Fear cultures and giving out "tough love" are thing of the past in miliary circles.
  • In elite sport top coaches are well educated and are aware of the need to balance support and challenge with their players.
  • Compassion can help us feel safe and protected leaving us better able to learn and develop.
  • Sarina Weigman's response to Lauren James' red card in a recent World Cup match versus Nigeria is a classic example of compassionate coaching.
  • As a coach how do you naturally respond to difficulties or mistakes?
  • Dr Kristin Neff has many helpful resources on compassion.
  • Google Professor Sophia Jowett's work on the coach-athlete relationship and the relationship with performance and well-being.
