Wayne. How do I coach "good"?

By Wayne Goldsmith Thanks for the incredible response to the "Good Boys Make Great Players" video. A coach wrote to me and asked, "Wayne. How do I coach "good"? Great question.My answer: Stop seeing them as athletes. Start seeing them as people who do athletic things.This re-framing of your coaching is essential because you shift your focus from talent, skills, winning, losing, performance etc. to how can I coach this person standing in front of me to be the best version of themselves.You go from thinking in terms of coaching new skills, improving techniques and enhancing physiological capabilities, to how can I coach this person to be a decent human being first and foremost.You start to recognize coachable moments and coaching opportunities where their hearts and minds are open to learning and where you have the chance to maybe change their lives by teaching important life lessons.Have a great coaching day.
