Today David considers the statement: “Coping strategies: You’ll develop tools to manage pressure and stress” where he focuses on supporting coaches to improve themselves, and in turn, improve their athletes.  This is a continuation of his examination into ChatGPT and its response to the question “What Can I Expect When Working With A Sport Psychologist.”

David shares many insightful thoughts about the topic to be able to support coaches.  With some great questions for coaches to ask themselves.

Key Learning Points:

  • How do you want your athletes to behave around your club?
  • Do you as a coach help your athletes mind and body to work in harmony?
  • How can you activate your parasympathetic nervous system more to influence your athletes? 
  • Coach pressures come from managing athletes, senior management, coaching colleagues, sport science staff and parents goals, expectations and personalities and much more.
  • Fear can play a big part and influence coaches; fear of failure, fear of judgement, fear of pain, fear of regret and fear of rejection.
