Athlete Directed Coaching w/Roy Sugarman [part 1]

What’s the truth about helping others change?

In this podcast series I interview Roy Sugarman, Phd, author of ‘Motivation For Coaches & Personal Trainers’.  He is also serves as the Director of Sports Psychology for EXOS. 

Here in part one of this podcast series we discuss the following:

Why is behavioral change so hard?

The phrase that EVERY coach and parent should avoid

The difference bettwen ‘being told’ and ‘being spontaneous’

How do you define this idea of athlete directed coaching?

How do you handle athletes at the professional level who don’t want to change?

Why coaches should understand the concept of Homophily

Why is it important for coaches to understand the difference between adoption vs compliance?

The coaching trap for ALL coaches to be aware of

Plus more!

If you found this episode useful… I NEED YOUR HELP!

My goal is for the Coach Your Best podcast to be one of the featured podcast resources on iTunes for coaches worldwide so I can help out as many coaches as possible!  But in order to do that I need your help. The way that iTunes determines which podcast shows get featured is by how many people download the podcast, leave reviews (key!), and also subscribe. These podcasts are free and it usually takes me two days to prepare, record, edit, and produce each show but with your help I know I can help many others just like you! I would be grateful if you took literally less than 60 seconds and left an honest review of the show. Click Here to Open iTunes
