In this conversation with Head of Competitor Development at Motorsport UK, Tom Hartley, we delve into the benefits of exposing coaches to different coaching environments to enhance their understanding and effectiveness, based on Tom's insights of moving across to Motorsport from football.

Takeaways

• Coaches benefit from experiencing different coaching environments.
• Coaches, and sports, need disruptors in the form of alien voices and ways of working
• Failing to filter out noise in alien sporting environments can distract coaches from key transferable insights.
• Sports move at different evolutionary rates, but past approaches shouldn't always be forgotten or abandoned
• Exploratory frameworks can help coaches focus on relevant information when on a coaching 'exchange'.
• Coaches need to train themselves on how to learn from different sports and perspectives
• Changing sports as a coach is possible
