🎯 Three Roles of a Coach
1. Technical Expert: technique, tactics, physical conditioning — necessary but not sufficient.
2. Educator: the ability to convey knowledge and adapt instruction.
3. Psychologist/Mentor: emotional climate, sustaining motivation, personal development. This distinguishes a good coach from a great one.
💡 Research: Coaches who emphasized personal growth achieved better long-term results.
🗣️ Principles of Effective Communication
- The Sandwich Method: praise → constructive criticism → encouragement
- Specificity: not “great job,” but “you executed the throwing technique perfectly”
- Listening: open-ended questions encourage thinking
- Nonverbal communication: body language makes up 70 % of the message
- Individual approach: different people — different motivation
💪 Growth Environment (Mastery Climate)
It is an environment that emphasizes progress and effort, not only wins.
- Mistakes are part of learning
- Each person is compared with their own previous results
- Effort is valued no less than achievements
- Encourages cooperation
- The coach leads by example
Result: higher motivation, lower anxiety, longer career.
