“A good coach changes your game, a great coach changes your life”
Today, I’m talking to high performance coach Max Gartner. Originally from Austria, Max spent five years at Stams Ski Academy. He then went on to play professional soccer for five years before joining Alpine Canada as an assistant coach in 1982. Max has found incredible success as a high performance coach and has coached many of Canada’s biggest stars, including Thomas Grandi, Cary Mullen and Ed Podivinsky, and in 1991 the Canadian Ski Coaches' Federation named him Coach of the Year. He went on to become the CEO and president of Alpine Canada.
Working with the wrong coach as an athlete can create an overwhelming feeling of pressure, a fear of failure, and resentment for the sport. As an athlete, building a relationship built on trust and vulnerability with your coach is so important for your happiness, mental health, and your results.
Tune in and listen to episode five of Unspoken Bravery. Max and I talk about his journey from professional soccer player to high performance coach, how he has shifted his coaching approach from winning to excellence, the importance of vulnerability, how coaches influence pressure, and stories from coaching different types of athletes. Max’s approach to coaching provides his athletes a refreshing perspective shift that they are not their results. I am so excited for you to listen in and learn all that Max knows about helping athletes reach their goals.
