The following are some of the basic tenants that I believe in as a coach. These are foundational beliefs that make up the pillars of my coaching philosophy. I was taught from day one as a coach that the philosophy is the guiding light, the beacon that guides you through the good times and the bad. They may be of assistance to you in defining how and what you do as a coach. In future blogs I will elaborate on each of them and share why they are important to me:
Coach & Teach The Way You Would Want To Be Coached & Taught
It Is Always About The Athlete
Focus on the Process – The Pursuit Of Excellence Has It’s Own Rewards
Embrace and Lead Change
Relentlessly Pursue Personal & Professional Growth and Learning
Use All Dimensions Of Communication
Embrace The Difference – Nobody Is The Same
Always Ask Why?
Never Take No For Answer
Less Is More – Simplicity Yields Complexity
Be Passionate and Enthusiastic
Be Humble
