The Art Of Coaching

E192 | Elisabeth Oehler: Toxicity in Coaching Culture - How to Combat It


Listen Later

Coaching is all about discovering what makes an individual tick so you can help them take the next step in their life, career, or sport… But when you work with people who aren’t consistently motivated, compliant or driven, it can feel like solving a 10,000 piece puzzle.

And yet, that’s the job; Whether you train athletes or work with professionals, it’s up to you to figure out the puzzle- not shirk responsibility and fulfill your own agenda. 

Luckily, today’s guest Elisabeth Oehler doesn’t hold back, sharing her best strategies for adapting to and understanding the individuals you work with so you can more successfully guide and collaborate. 

Elisabeth is a strength coach and licensed weightlifting coach by the German Olympic Sports Confederation. She’s also a full time coach and consultant for her company (EO Performance) in which she helps organizations develop long term athletic development programs and does online coaching for recreational athletes, semi-pro and elite athletes in rugby, football, soccer and weightlifting. Prior to this, she mainly coached in elementary schools and kids on a volunteer basis. 

We discuss:

  • How to program for and communicate with a younger generation
  • Dealing with criticism and people who don’t agree with your opinion 
  • Approaching and coaching lazy, unmotivated or traumatized athletes
  • The reason we don’t actually want to be life-long learners...
