Coaches Communication

Translating the Athlete Workshops

Translating the athlete - what does this mean?

Within sport, a key component of coaching is communication. How do we create an environment where our message to athlete’s doesn’t get ‘lost in translation?

Course Details

This course is not looking to enhance your understanding of a particular sport or the physical aspects. Rather we are looking at providing you with the skills to effectively translate that knowledge in a way that the athlete can understand.

Providing you as a coach with more effective communication strategies means you can help create an environment where the athlete is understood, and improve the coach : athlete relationship.

Within the sessions the main topic points covered are:

  • Coaching Cues
