David Mayer is one half of the Gold Dust podcast and co-author of the book; 'Gold Dust: How to Become A More Effective Coach, Quickly'. The book and podcast is terrific for anyone wishing to improve their communication and coaching skills. David is a lifelong learner and this certainly shone through in our conversation. Here we strip it back from the 'X's and O's' and speak about what you can do today, tomorrow and in the future to coach and inspire future generations. As David said your journey is all about; 'learning, unlearning and relearning'. Expect to hear us speak about;
- What does gold dust mean?
- The set of skills which will set you apart as a coach?
- The three things athletes want to know from coaches?
- Why the process of writing a book is similar to the art of coaching?
- The importance of cross pollinating from different walks of life.
- Learning v Execution.
- 'Listen to learn before attempting to help.'
-One thing David would bring from the UK to the US and from the US to the UK?
