You are more than...Your Coach's Opinion of You

FIERCE Athlete Podcast

We are continuing with our "opinion of others" mini series in Season 3. This week Britt and Sam talk about how our coaches affect us as athletes. They break down the things we can control in regards to our coaches and those we can't. They pull from their own experience in regards to playing time, coaching style and what to do with tough situations. They also offer advice and scripts of how to best have a conversation with your coach, and advocate for yourself as a player. So share with a teammate, friend or even coach as we walk this journey toward better understanding that we are more than our coaches opinion of us...we are already chosen!
Takeaway:
Have a conversation with your coach and ask these 4 things:
1. What are your expectations for me?
2. How can I achieve this goal?
3. What am I doing well?
4. What can I improve on?
Do so with openness and humility.
How to share this:
Instead of giving into gossip or complaining about your coach with your teammates, encourage and equip them to have a conversation with your coach.
