Deep dives

Starting a Coaching Session

When beginning a mental performance coaching session, it is crucial to initiate with an open-ended question, such as asking the client what's on their mind. This allows the athlete or client to express their specific needs, whether it's related to consistency or confidence. Another effective approach discussed is the KENS assessment, which stands for understanding what the client knows, what they are executing on, and what they feel they need, followed by providing a strategy. Additionally, clarifying the sales process regarding coaching fees can set clear expectations for future sessions.
