73 Coaching Your Way Out of a Job with Mark Bennett

In today's episode, I am super excited to bring Mark Bennett to the Coaching Culture podcast, talking about coaching systems and how to effectively run them. Mark has been leading others for over 30 years, starting out serving in the British Army as an instructor and since then, he has worked in English Basketball, English Soccer, and English Rugby, as well as the Cleveland Indians and Oklahoma City Thunder in the US. Mark begs a very important questions, "How aware are the coaches of what they're doing and what they're not?" and "What support mechanisms are in place to raise awareness to a coach of what they're doing and then support them in that change?" - He suggests that coaches film themselves and go back and look through how they reacted to and coached up their athletes- - The aim of a great coach should be to make themselves redundant - Coaching vs. Instructing As a coach, you are investing in the human being, not just "your athlete" because it is the human being that makes the decisions and has the confidence to commit to things.
