Scott Goldman PhD - Profiling Athletes Ability to Learn
Connecting with athletes is hard. It is also extremely rewarding. In this week's episode we speak with Dr. Scott Goldman about an assessment tool called the AIQ. Dr. Goldman created this tool to help coaches learn how their athletes learn.In doing so, coaches can connect with and educate their athletes at a higher level.I took the assessment myself and it takes roughly 20-30 minutes to complete on an iPad. It was better than a standard multiple choice exam and had some fun parts. All in all if a team has the budget for it adding this tool can possibly help.____________________________________🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨This month June 2023 if you are a Strength and Conditioning coach trying to increase your income use these resources 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇💸How KWF grossed $1mil in side gigs: https://callmekeir.pages.ontraport.net/money-moves-optin💰Strength Coach Money Moves Course:https://callmekeir.securechkout.net/money-movesSign up for these courses to help increase your side gig income 💵💵💵💵_______________________________Be sure to hit the subscribe button to get more free content from us#education #learning #coaching #podcast___CONNECT:🎥YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StrengthCoachNetwork/featured📱Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/strengthcoachnetwork🐦Twitter: https://twitter.com/StrCoachNetwork🐦Twitter: https://twitter.com/coach_j_lima📷Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/strength_coach_network/📷Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach.j.lima/🌎Site: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/📝Blog: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/blog/🏫Education Course: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/fundamentals🛒 Shop Gear: https://my-store-cd9833.creator-spring.com/
