What makes a great pétanque coach? It's more than teaching technique. This episode explores the foundations of effective coaching—from the GROW model's goal-setting framework to the difference between coaching for immediate performance and mentoring for long-term development. At the core: building trust, creating space for honest reflection, and leading by example. Whether you're coaching beginners or competitive players, the research is clear—empathy, curiosity, and truly listening may matter more than any tactical advice you give.
