Check out this week’s 10 talks podcast episode to hear HOW WOMEN WIN with our next guest, Former UCLA Head Softball Coach, Sue Enquist.

WINNING STRATEGIES
1. How do you teach your female players to tolerate discomfort, failure or conflict? Coaching is a deeply personal industry where you lay your integrity, reputation, and love for the game on the line. Not everybody has the same level of love and integrity for the game that you may, and you are vulnerable to being misunderstood. Think of the 3 rings: The inner ring is the awareness of how you enter into the sport as a leader and as a coach with your team.The next layer is how you interact with your team and the conditions you are creating for today’s athlete. The last one is the idea of the game itself; and most mistakes or imperfections are within the inner ring.
2. As a female coach, you can still create an emotionally safe environment with super high standards; you do not have to be demeaning to get what you want. Have high standards and enjoyment within your sport so when you leave it you are still able to give back to it. The sport gave you a living, now you can give the sport a life. Let your athletes leave your program with their passion still intact.
3. How do you train with purpose and passion? Everybody’s job at their respective role is to make the lead person the most uncomfortable. Usually within teams there are multiple players on your roster at each position; never accept that secondary role, execute your job of pushing the person in front of you to make yourself and that person your best self as an athlete. Organize it in a way where they can objectively evaluate themselves and their teammates without emotion.

Join us on today’s episode as Carlette and Kathy discuss How Women Win after hearing from the winningest coach in NCAA softball history, Head Women’s Softball Coach at the University of Michigan Carol Hutchins.

WINNING STRATEGIES
1. One notable thing that differs between male and female coaches is that males often recognize the gender of coach, whereas females will often have a “genderless” view. However, it is important to be aware of the gender differences that occur amongst coaches and the different dynamics with male players having a female coach, female players having a male coach, and so forth. Female players who enter into a program with a female head coach may not initially respond well to this dynamic due to female stereotypes of being “motherly” and caring. When the female coach is then hard on them or more stern, it may be an adjustment for these players who have never experienced this before.
2. How do you care about, honor, and love yourself when you fail? Can you come to accept this failure and still strive for perfection and contribute where you can? Being able to separate your identity as an athlete or as a coach from who you are personally as an individual is essential to be able to anchor in your strengths and be able to separate these areas of your life.
3. Every day is a learning day. Be able to find joy on the journey of learning rather than focusing on the frustration that comes along with failure. Being able to define what winning means to you and your team is another great strategy to have that open communication and be on the same page.

Check out this week’s 10 talks podcast episode to hear HOW WOMEN WIN with our next guest, University of Michigan Head Softball Coach, Carol Hutchins.

WINNING STRATEGIES
1. How Do You Win Every Year? It is never given or guaranteed that you will have a successful season or be a champion. Do not take a single day for granted. It is important to teach your athletes to be consistent in your own self and your emotions as you go along with wins and losses. Stay in the moment; take what you learn from failure and move on. Ups and downs are a part of the game, and finding something you can take away from the downs and keep focusing on the ups will propel you towards success using things under your control.
2. Be your authentic self as a coach. You can only coach so much without integrating your own personality within your philosophy. We may have a role model we look up to and try to mimic our own coaching styles to theirs, but eventually we will mold that into our own unique style that we feel most comfortable and effective with. Hold your athletes to a standard you set within your program along with the ability to be personable; most of these athletes are young people, and especially having female athletes, connection is usually an important component to a coach-athlete relationship.
3. What works for your athletes individually and collectively, and how can you create the best environment for them? Practice should be at a higher level of difficulty than the actual game. Putting players in adverse situations will help prepare them for the highest level of competition that exists. Sometimes this can be challenging for players because it pushes them outside of their comfort zone. With this comes a lot of education and growth, as well as empathy once and if athletes hit their breaking point. At the end of the day, we are all human, and being aware of that as a coaching staff as a whole will help players be healthy both physically and mentally.

Join us on today’s episode as Carlette and Kathy discuss How Women Win after hearing from Kirsten Bernthal Booth, Creighton University Head Women’s Volleyball Coach.

WINNING STRATEGIES
1. Sport forces people together as a team with inevitable conflict. How do you get players to buy into your program and its culture and make it all worth it? Coaching is a very difficult task with all of the different components that goes into how to do it successfully. You may not have the best athletes in your gym or the most resources in your department, but cultivating joy into your own attitude and leading by example will remind athletes how much fun it can be to play the sport you teach them.
2. New coaches often copy the people that they have been coached by within their careers as athletes. Though this may work for some, it’s important to be aware of how you are feeling when coaching and the interactions that you have with players and staff so you can adapt along the way. Emotional intelligence is critical to develop into an authentic coaching role and find what works for you and the program you want to achieve. Is doing what you are doing getting you the results you want?
3. Communicating who you are as a coach and what your program is about is critical when recruiting. If you as an athlete do not truly want to be a part of this program for whatever reason, that is okay – there are plenty to choose from for what you really want. Do not join our team if you do not actually want to be here. Look for players that understand what your program is about and who truly want to be a part of it.

Check out this week’s 10 talks podcast episode to hear HOW WOMEN WIN with our next guest, Creighton University Head Women’s Volleyball Coach Kirsten Bernthal-Booth.

WINNING STRATEGIES
1. Life is bigger than the sport you are playing. Have intelligence and consistency with your players so they know every day what they are going to get from you as a human being. Show that you care about your players to lay the foundation for your program and how you want to be better every day.
2. Confidence breeds winning. Fostering the level of expectation while playing at a highly competitive level comes with communication, adapting and adjusting, and never staying comfortable. Getting outside your comfort zone drives you to be better and advances your program, especially from a recruiting perspective.
3. Communicate about conflict before it arises. Remind your team that if you have a conflict with somebody, that you are not involving other people around you; go directly to the person in order to find a solution and resolve the conflict. Be clear in how you want to be communicated with as a player and as a coach, and give everyone in your organization the space to voice so.

Join us on today’s episode as Carlette and Kathy discuss How Women Win after hearing from the winningest women’s basketball coach in Arizona State history, Charli Turner Thorne.

WINNING STRATEGIES
1. How are we going to reinforce mistakes in an authentic way? Being intentional with your staff and even watching your own film as coaches will help you to recognize when your coaching is effective vs. when it is surface level. Athletes are aware of the difference, and being able to differentiate between these two perspectives is a matter of getting better or staying stagnant.
2. Mindset Mastery. Honor being vulnerable and being in relationship with your teammates and coaches. Having your words and actions aligned as a coach is essential to help athletes enter into the growth mindset and be able to conquer failure in a healthy manner, rather than allowing external pressures to override any mental practice that has been done before competition.
3. How do we coach our female players up without separating from the relationship with them? Women athletes generally expect more vulnerability and realness out of a relationship with their coach; we are in this struggle together. Ask your athletes if this is the best that you can give to this group of people. Are you owning your role and doing your part as a teammate? Being truthful is necessary for being connected and having a sense of purpose within an organization.

Check out this week’s 10 talks podcast episode to hear HOW WOMEN WIN with our first guest, Arizona State University Head Women’s Basketball Coach Charli Turner Thorne.


WINNING STRATEGIES
1. Transformative approach to coaching: Put the woman ahead of the athlete. Make sure they are in a good place as a person first before focusing on their identity as an athlete. How we help athletes personally as well as professionally can be equally beneficial and create a championship culture.
2. There is no success without struggle. There is no growth without failure. Success starts at the end of your comfort zone. Teaching your athletes that there is no such thing as failure - everything is a learning opportunity - will help to cultivate a growth mindset. Embracing failure is necessary at this high level of play, especially for high female competitors who may lack self compassion when they do not achieve what they want to.
3. Preparation breeds confidence. If you’re playing it safe, you’re probably not getting better. Focus on the process rather than being results oriented so your players will do the same. Master your mindset – how do you not just let things happen to you, but reframe them in a way that makes you better and stronger as a person and as an athlete?

Happy National Coaches Day!
JOIN US On the Journey to Discover How Women Win Our Way…

Check out today’s 10 talks podcast episode to continue learning with Carlette and Kathy- Teaming Up to Discover, Design, and Do – "Winning Our Way".

WINNING STRATEGIES
1. There are 3 things Coaches today can think about- Learn your craft, Learn yourself, and Learn who your athletes are.
2. Setting up Women 4 Success- find a support network of other trustworthy women/ people. Someone maybe outside of the sport, someone close who can tell you when you’re out of line, or someone who can talk shop with you.
3. Learn How 2 Grow- “feel the fear and do it anyway”. Lean into the discomfort, it’s what coaches ask athletes to do daily! Modeling this is huge, it’s how we get better and if coaches won’t do it, it’s unrealistic athletes will do it.

With Head Sports Life Coach® and Chief Wellbeing Officer®, Carlette Patterson and Executive Director of the American Volleyball Association, Kathy Deboer.

WINNING STRATEGIES

1. Athletes are also in sport to have a positive and fulfilling experience- The sport still has to be something that positively feeds your soul! It's worth doing the work- pushing through the wins and the loses with a competitive spirit.
2. How can we empower women and Be 4 Each other? Understand How 2 Know People- learn and affiliate with them, see how they take in information or how they respond.
3. Gender behavior is closely guarded by people within that same gender- Women don’t let other Women act like Men, whereas Men don’t let Men act like Women. If in a workplace it may never occur to either one of them that the female will have to approach jobs differently than the male did. She can’t take what he did into the gym and think it’ll work. Because women have other expectations.

with Khalia Lanier, Professional Volleyball Player.

WINNING STRATEGIES:

1. Tool 2 Use-Emotional Management. Within high stress situations, emotions can make or break us. So we want to have love, passion, and joy in competing! If you’re afraid of looking bad, all of the sudden the joy dissipates.
2. Don’t stack your rest and recovery day with all the things you were trying to get done throughout the week. It’s important to figure out your 10s and do them on those rest days. If we hold the mindset that we don’t have the choice and that we’re being forced- it’s sucking the energy and joy out of it. Find joy= find love.
3. Thinking of how you need a person to be happy, or you’ll be happy in this one location, you become somewhat powerless. So how can you B4U and take what you’ve learned to empower yourself wherever you go? Look at the aspect rather than the activity. When something really resonates with your heart, break it down to its aspects because you can look for those things wherever and whenever.
