Smart Coaching Show Notes: Keith and the doctors investigate the athletes’ perception of effective coaching. The coach and athlete relationship are one of the strongest in a person’s life and the impact is larger than the sport. They point out the importance of having balance in being personable and teaching athletes. Dr. Gearity gives insight from his personal research on players dealing with what they believe were less affective coaches. Dr. Kuklick also added supportive knowledge from academic research and points out what coaches should be aware of in that instance.
