“Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
In this episode we focus on what makes coaching so important to success in sports and discuss how great coaching enhance performance and transform good players into great players.
Whether it's on the gridiron, in the workplace or in everyday life, great coaching can be a literal game changer in how it can shape potential and help bring out the best in each of us.
We discuss some legendary coaches and how building relationships beyond the field of play may be the most important factor in determining success (on and off the field).
We introduce the NCAA's new ‘Mental Health Best Practices’ which are a set of guidelines that are changing the landscape of how mental health is treated in college athletics.
Although coaching must be distinguished from traditional approaches to mental health care, such as medicine and therapy, there is no doubt that it improves mental fitness and serves as both a way to
enhance performance and augment any mental health treatment or recovery program.
