Learn and Grow as a Sports Coach

The best way to learn and grow as a sports coach is to develop self-reflection. By being reflective, you can switch between being an eagle, observing the relationship and overall progress, and a mouse, engaging in conversations and focusing on the content. The key is to be flexible, responsive, and focus on the person you are interacting with, allowing them to be the best teacher. Utilizing useful stories rather than trying to act as a clever psychologist can lead to more effective conversations and learning experiences.
