Episode notes
MI Origins
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) originated in addiction treatment, addressing the ambivalence of those hesitant to change.
- Traditional approaches often lost patients at the outset by immediately demanding abstinence.
Coaching Communication
- Coaches emphasize trust and communication but rarely actively develop these skills.
- Treat communication as a skill like serving in volleyball; everyone does it, but improvement is always possible.
MI's Universal Application
- MI's strength lies in helping resistant athletes but it also benefits everyone.
- Affirmations, unlike praise, highlight inherent qualities, promoting lasting behavior change regardless of immediate results.
