Behind every athlete is a human. Today Claire is talking to Elizabeth Egan about her journey into personal development coaching in sport. Lots to think about this week around working with young people, and the differences between our work and sports coaching.
Elizabeth has written an excellent reference guide, with Rob Clift and Carly Jones that you can find on her website https://www.somuchmore.ie/ . It’s a wonderful guide for any kind of coach.
Takeaways
- Coaching conversations with athletes should focus on the person, not just the sport.
- Creating space and allowing for vulnerability is essential in coaching. Not knowing everything is okay; the coach's role is to facilitate the client's thinking.
- The book 'Personal Development Coaching in Sport' provides a comprehensive guide for practitioners and highlights the relevance of coaching skills in the sports world.
