On Athlete Coach Relationships

This episode focuses on the athlete-coach relationship and how the quality of the coach-athlete relationship will influence measurable performance. I also found this fascinating through the lens of the corporate world and how relationships there can impact cohesion and results.

Professor Sophia Jowett, who teaches at Loughborough University, joins me for the discussion. Sophia is also a Psychologist, and her work focuses on interpersonal relationships in sports, particularly the impact of the athlete-coach partnership. Dr David Turner, who has been on the podcast many times before, is a Senior Lecturer in Sport Coaching at ARU in Cambridge, UK.
