This video explores the critical principle of "Do No Harm" in coaching, drawing parallels to Florence Nightingale's transformative contributions to modern healthcare. Despite good intentions, many coaching practices today harm athletes' mental health, character development, and well-being due to systemic flaws and outdated methods. The video highlights the need for evidence-based coaching practices and standardized systems to address toxic cultures, overtraining, and pressures from social media and competition.


Key insights include:

  • The parallels between coaching and nursing: the necessity of education, standards, and accountability.
  • The importance of addressing systemic issues in sports, advocating for change, and training coaches with proven, research-backed practices.
  • Practical steps for sports organizations: providing coach education, setting behavioral standards, and implementing development plans.

  • JP offers solutions through online coaching courses, tailored support for organizations, and strategies to create healthier environments for athletes. Learn how adopting a "Nightingale approach" can revolutionize coaching and sports culture for the better.
