🎙️ Episode 11 – The Person Behind the Performance: Personality in Coaching & Sport
In this episode of Mind Set Go, we dive into the fascinating world of personality psychology and its powerful impact on the coach–athlete relationship. From the widely recognised Big Five (Five-Factor Model) to the insightful Jungian Type Index (JTI), we explore how understanding personality differences can unlock stronger communication, deeper trust, and better performance in sport.
Whether you're a coach, athlete, or someone curious about what drives human behaviour, this episode offers practical insights, relatable examples, and useful strategies to apply in any high-performance environment.
🧠 Learn how personality shapes motivation, stress responses, feedback preferences, and more — and why the best coaches are also students of human behaviour.
