The Coach's Dual Role
This chapter explores the vital balance a coach maintains between challenging athletes and protecting their well-being. It uses examples from iconic sports figures to illustrate the coach's advocacy in managing external pressures while preparing athletes mentally for competition.
Outside of athletes, coaches may be the most important figures in all of sport. Often they start as parents or non-professionals eventually evolving into people who coach full time. Michael had one coach his whole career in Bob Bowman. Other athletes like Tiger Woods and Roger Federer have had many through their careers. In this episode we try to answer, what is the role of the coach? What is the breadth of value a coach can offer to an athlete. As part of this discovery, we also look into how coaches and athletes can communicate and build trust. Finally, we examine the role of the athletes themselves. 00:00:00 Intro 00:11:24 Outlining What is Possible 00:17:43 Setting Standards 00:29:48 Creating a Gameplan 00:37:40 Thinking Long Term 00:43:08 Research 00:49:57 Creating Adversity 00:58:34 Protecting the Athlete 01:02:55 Motivation 01:12:24 Goals 01:16:35 Perspective 01:20:11 Transparency 01:43:10 Building Trust 01:46:55 The Role of the Athlete Exponential Athlete Socials Twitter: https://twitter.com/athletexpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/exponentialathlete/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-exponential-athlete-podcast Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4XmCCYsVVOVmRavFYT5b1C Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-exponential-athlete/id1726985417 Website: https://exponentialathlete.co/ Affiliates: Track your health data with Whoop.
