#40 Carly Clarke - A Champion's Mindset

I have the pleasure of being joined by basketball coach Carly Clarke in this episode. Carly has been the Head Coach of Ryerson Women's Basketball since 2012 and is the Canadian Women's National Team Assistant Coach. Prior to coaching, Carly had a successful college playing career, playing 5 seasons at Bishop’s University. This led to an assistant coaching role at Dalhousie. She then took up her first head coaching role at University of Prince Edward Island.

We speak about champion’s behaviours; coaching through questioning; communication between coach and athlete; athlete ownership; team cohesion; key terms to help manage distraction; learning from a loss and post-training and post-game reflection.
