Another great post by Aussie Wayne Goldsmith on Sport Coaching Brain.
Whilst all great coaches are unique and very special individuals, there are some common factors – some common championship coaching characteristics that they all share:
A commitment to continuous improvement.
A belief that anything is possible.
An understanding of where your sport has been (history of the sport), where it is now and most importantly a vision for where it is going.
The confidence to be yourself – to be unique.
The energy to work hard consistently.
The strength and courage to not compromise.
Outstanding communication abilities.
An understanding of who you are, what you value and what motivates you.
A passion for winning – a desire to be the best.
The capacity to persevere and persist and continue to fight hard no matter what obstacles you face.
each point expanded – Sport Coaching Brain – Great Coaches: How to Be the Best of the Best.
Thanks Brett.
