STORT TIME 3 - FINDING YOUR WHY MAKES COACHING SIMPLER

Welcome to Sports Thoughts Story Time. As a species we humans are at our best when we’re connecting with each other through story-telling. Story telling allows us to share more than the facts: it’s our opportunity to share our feelings, our emotions, our wisdom and our learning with others. Stories allow us to share our successes, our failures, our joys and our fears. Stories help us to learn and grow. This space - Sports Thoughts Story Time is where I’ll share some of the stories I’ve experienced in a lifetime of sport. This week - Finding Your Coaching Why and Why It Matters. I do a lot of workshops, training sessions and learning events where we work with coaches through the concept of “why” - i.e. helping coaches discover their reason - their “why” for coaching. This is important, because once your know your why - the what, the how and the when are relatively simple. In this week’s Story Time, I share a story of working with a New Zealand Rugby Coach and how his why - his motivation for coaching - is the sort of why that can move mountains.
