Athletes, Stability and Uncertainty

Coaches' job is to create the right environment for athletes. How do you create anchors and rituals? And that's the key, right? Every good programme has those traditions, but they're anchors and rituals. We typically in cross country, start a season with a camp then end it with a banquet. Those are very stabilizing anchors. This is predictable. This can count on it. It also compounds on what we talked about before: buying trust and building confidence.
